Day One, Week Two: Heavy Bench Press

Back to what might be my favorite day in this routine. Whereas last week I was to do sets of 6 bench presses, this week it was sets of 5 (and next will be 4, followed by 3), the idea being to lift heavier each week. I benched 341 at the YMCA Seattle Summer Classic; at the Columbia City Classic, I'd like to shoot for 350.
