I hate missing my groove on bench. Youre right though, unless you workout with maximal weights your nervous system won't be trained to work with them all that well.

Chances are 405 will fall easy if you maxed out on a different bench exercise (close grip, incline, floor press, etc...) each week

 

[ManOfMuscle]

I purposely hold myself back to some extent just so I can give my joints a break from the all the damage they accrue on cycle. Just felt like maxing out so my body didn't forget how.

What can you full range dead if you're SLDLing 5 bills ?

 

[ManOfMuscle]

I don't know. I told you I'd do 5 plates when I had a belt.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

Not too long ago I pulled 550 x3 from almost ground level with no belt.

 

[Skarhead1]

try pulling offa 4 inch platform.. If you could do 405 for reps off of a 4 inch platform i would be really impressed.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

I don't pull deads off the ground so I'm not going to do it on a platform. I'm sure I could do 405 but impressing you isn't worth possibly ruining my back.

how ARE you pulling them then if not off the ground?
