3RM on BARBELL BENCH PRESS!
I was so psyched to max! Keep in mind I have not touched flat barbell bench press for 5 weeks. Only incline bb press and db presses.
[highlight]PRE-PRIME[/highlight]
I have gotten 225x4 on a GOOD day before. My current 1RM before PRIME was 250. My 3RM therefore was an estimated 225-230lbs, probably 225.
And now.....
Drum roll please! ---------------------------------------------------------
BB Bench:
135x8
225x8
250x4
275x1
I was debating whether to warm up or not, finally deciding it would be a good idea. I got on that bench and repped out 135 and was like "WHaaaaaaat???" It felt like I could lift it with my little finger!
Then, I SMAAAAASHED my previous 3RM by
25lbs!!!! I have NEVER been able to get more than 4 reps of 225!
Then I loaded it up with my previous 1RM, 250, and proceeded to smash that too! My 1RM became my new 3RM
Finally, I was like, "FREAKIN SWEET, lets load up 275". Got it almost twice!!! I was so ecstatic after setting these records!!!
So,
[highlight]POST-PRIME[/highlight]
3RM = 250lbs and
1RM = 275lbs (for now, probably could have done 280-285 cold)
Interesting thing is, about 2 weeks ago, a friend of mine told me he got 265x1. I tried it that same day, but couldn't get it. Now I get 275 almost x2??? Unbelievable.
Of course this isn't 62lbs as PRIME claims. However, remember this is "up to 62lbs." Who wouldn't be happy with gaining 25lbs on their bench press!?
GET PRIME!!!!!
Stay tuned for my 3RM SQUAT report tomorrow!
