Yea at 5’ 8" I think I could go up to 210 and cut to 198 easily. Really think I might give it a shot

I’m getting away from benching early in my work out because it tends to hurt my shoulders. Hitting dumbbells before seem to be helping also.

How do you program your weeks man? I’ve been doing somewhat of a chaos and pain approach and love it, but I’m wondering about doing high frequency training somewhat like yourself.
I don’t really program I pull every 5-7 days. Going heavy two weeks ish then wave back to max rep sets with lighter weight the next two ish weeks. Front squat or back squat daily except for the day before and day of deadlifts ( working this back in slowly) and have started hitting a lot off bench volume with db presses often to save my shoulders for heavy bench. All my lifting depends how I feel that day. My number one rule is if you don’t feel like doing it dont do it cause more than likely it will just suck. I also do a lot of assistance work daily that I don’t mention in here cause most people don’t want to read about me doing ghr sets or shoulder pressing 40s.
Amen to that. Okay cool, I’m nowhere near your lifts really, but I’m really enjoying pulling, squatting and pressing often so I figured I’d ask. Thanks man!
Not a problem dude…
Hit some flat db press, flat bench and some back assistance.
Just put up a video on my youtube channel (Vincent pachuta) of some of today and the big deadlift set from yesterday. Will possibly be going for a 675 pull by new years as long as my next two weeks go good.

Feel a little sick from the car ride home from work so going to take the day off. I think once I’m waking up at 195 I’ll start a new log. At that point it will start being a pain in the ass to cut to 181. Right now I’m still only about 188-9 after eating
