The wonderful folks over at Anderson Powerlifting sent me a totally bad ass training device. It's called The Super RAM. The Super Ram is a training device for the bench that helps protect the shoulders and aids in support of the bench press movement. This was my very first time ever using such a product so I was a bit nervous but was I ever impressed!
At my last meet I RAW bench pressed 355lbs. I then took about 2 weeks off then began training again. I did a few warm up sets then started going heavy. I put the RAM on and got 365lbs EASY. Here's the video:
After this set I felt really strong and confident so I raised the weight to 385lbs. I have never benched 385lbs before in my life....
