Comments: New Phase – Peaking. 1st time trying a peaking phase. Created with the help of Mike Israetel. 1st time benching this heavy in a few months. Shoulder hurt on the lighter weights, but stopped once I got to 285 lbs. Sets felt fairly easy, 300 was good, 320 was a little struggle, 325 my butt started to come up off the bench. I need to get my legs back more so that won’t happen. Had some good spotting from Josh and Heath and a little coaching from Shawn Frankl himself. Done at Big Iron Gym.
