Good work today, the bench is coming back. My knee is just about able to bend enough to get my feet under me but it felt rather weird so kept them out in front for most sets today. May start working them back under over the next three weeks and see what happens.

Good session today despite feeling tired from a lack of sleep and early start. Going full range on the bench felt tough without the use of my legs. Hopefully the knee will be up to a bit more pressure through it in a few weeks time for the comp and I can go closer to 600lbs

Again just another slight increase in weight from last week. Today felt easier which was a good sign so getting used to the volume and getting stronger

Well got into my better shirt today and tried arching properly. My knee seemed to take it without too much problem but still not getting much leg power. Was a little disheartening not touching with 270kg but I probably should have tried harder.

WOW! Your bench has certainly benefited from the relief on your CNS! What do you reckon?

Well it seems to have come back quickly that's for sure pal, even without using my legs much. Not sure how this will translate to strength off my chest though. Will just have a gamble in the comp

[Bokers]

I'm it'll pay off! When is the comp!? Is it bench only!? How is your DL and squats coming on!?
