My 300 lb Bench & 300 lb Squat quest

[Uncle Rico]

Thanks Mateen. I really like this higher set program, although next week I'm modifying it to a 3-day 75, 80, 85% instead. I can't continue a 4-day bench routine

Clean & Jerk - I love this movement. Timing is crucial though. The legs have to scissor exactly as the arms "try" to push the weight up. I have a long way to go obviously.

Hope you feel better soon. At least you still trained.

Thanks MilkMan. physically I felt strong enough to workout, but my neck muscles and throat have been sore so I hope it doesn't "escalate".
