TrapHouse, why is there not enough weight on the bar??

[Traphouse86]

Well this past weekend I decided to look through my log and look at my progress since I started it and also see where I improved the most . And after I did so I noticed some very interesting things. Well more like I noticed that in almost every case once something started working well for me I would change things up which is really stupid. Looking through I noticed that my bench responded best to volume with reps in the 1-5 range "Metal Militia" and my lower body responds well to a westside approach. And I will give props to Muscleg for helping me notice this. It might beat me into the ground but I'm gonna run metal militia for upper body and westside for lower and see how it turns out. And I'm sure I will be deloading or takin every 4th week off. And also thanks for all the encourgement that I get from the community here at MAB.

Good workout tonight. But all I gotta say is floor press board press is a humbling exercise, Was barely using half the weight I would use on a regular bench.

Floor board presses were interesting, I might have to try them sometime.

Floor press with boards sounds interesting and difficult.

Props to you for finding what works. That is really a big part of keeping a training log!

I think they are gonna help with my bench alot because it takes leg drive and overall body tightness out.
