Week 9 is the last week of the Strong 15 cycle. Next week is basically an off week, as I will only do 1 set of 5 reps at 50% of my 1RM goal in the bench press, squat, deadlift, and overhead press. Two weeks from now is when I will test my 1RM in the aforementioned exercises. After that, I will start a new training regimen.
Squat
42/15, 133/5, 183/3, 223/3, 273/1, 313/1
Bench Press
134/5, 155/4, 182/3, 202/2, 222/1, 236/1, 249/1, 228/6
My 1RM goal two weeks from now is 268. In order to "be assured" of hitting that weight, the program calls for doing 228 for 8-12 reps. I was barely able to do 6 tonight. As such, I am not very confident that I will be able to bench 268. However, I am also not very surprised because bench press has always been very difficult for me to improve in. Therefore, I will have to be content with any PR that I may hit. (My current PR is 258.)
Incline Press
Dumbbells: 75/15, 70/15
Pull Ups
7,7,7
Hanging Knee Raises
17,14,15
