Good man - no reason why you cannot hit 100kg by years end.

thanks, chest again tonight, want to make 80kgx8 by october, (doing a log with goals in bench, squat, DL, 4km run, 3km row and weight loss) on track to hit them all)

After that its 100kg 1rm bench amoung others, xmas sound as good as any

They say it's easier to lift big in the southern hemisphere - something about gravitational pull...:D

Definitely 100kg in 2010. Only thing I can say is don't sweat the detail too much - if your feeling it go a bit heavier and vice versa.

The only thing I've always seemed to do when maxing out was take consistent jumps in weight be it 10/15/20kg per set.

Keep us updated mate!

I got this 14 day high frequency bench routine off Dave Fitzhenry the first man in ireland to bench 300kg. I've used it in the past with people in the gym that hit a plateau in their bench.

Does anyone know if this can be applied to the back squat?

Haven't tried any more on the bar yet, but reps are slightly higher and smoother.
100kg won't happen this year, prob have 90kg in me now, I'll test it for the end of the year.
