Next week will be 1R max time on the 4 boards. The good news is that I came out this one and experienced no back pain even though I tried to get my best arch when I benched. I was careful how I picked up and loaded the DB's and plates. I should be as good as new in a week or so.

Nice job on the PR Jack. Why did you go for the 1rm when it said you were only going for a 3rm? Or am I reading that wrong?

You have 105 lb db's?

I'm glad you didnt have any back pain..take it easy for a bit longer..dont rush thing.

I was going for a 3R max all the way. I just couldn't get 3 reps out of the last set .

All I have is the adjustable DB's. I think they were on the tape I sent you. I throw on both the standard and olympic plates. It's not very pretty but it works for some exercises.

I'm going to give the back another week before I even consider doing anything extreme.
