May 5 2013 Bench

Raw benching...  The day went really well.  I am completely confused at my raw strength.  I cant even begin to estimate where I am.  During the training cycle for the Arnold I benched 365 for a single and it felt like crap so that's what I called my 1RM.  Today I worked up to a top set of 4.  I thought probably 340 would be a good number but it was super easy.  So, I took 350 and I got a solid 4...  Who says you cant get stronger (raw) while training in gear...
Mindy worked up to a raw 1RM.  200 ended up being it.
We are both training for a RPS meet in Ft. Lauderdale on June 15.  I will be benching only and Mindy hasn't completely decided.  She may do full power raw or geared...  Not sure yet, waiting on some new gear to get here.
