I ended up going lighter on the bench than last week, though I lifted more volume,* so that's good. My strategy for my chest right now is to "hollow out a solid space" around __kg, then advance from there. Specifically, I want to be able to do 4 sets (10, 8, 6, 4) at 80kg, 85kg, 90kg, 95kg without a spotter. I think I can get there by mid-April. For now, I will keep hollowing out my space around that weight level to attain a solid, fundamental base of strength from which to reach that plateau. I am also going to start using plate locks on all exercises, so that when I get to a number of plates that really need them, I'll already be adjusted.

* NOTE:

Last week, 3 March 2011
BP 640, 595, 630 = 1,865
incline BP 520, 490, 507 = 1,617
TOTAL: 3,482kg

This week, 8 March 2011
BP 840, 675, 525 = 2,040
incline BP 600, 517.5, 420 = 1,537.5
TOTAL: 3,577.5kg
