Incline Bench Report: 145

After two days off from a slave-driver work schedule, I returned to the gym this afternoon ready to move weights around for small, controlled distances. As always, I began with incline bench. After a quick warm-up, I pumped out eight reps of 115. I moved up to 135 and lifted eight no problem. At 145, I did eight, but with some effort.

So Sunday, I plan to start at 135 and range up to 155. When I get started doing reps with 165, I'll go back and check my maximum regular bench weight. I'm hoping for something in the 215 to 225 range.
