How much do you estimate you've improved your max bench with this training?

20 LBS and counting for the bench press. Doesn't seem like much but it means a lot to me.

I don't have a shirt yet. I'm in between jobs now and can't afford the good stuff just yet.
I can get the seminar fee no problem. I'll just drop wifey off at the outlets and I can get hit by a bus and it will be hours before she notices,

20 Lbs is a lot on the bench. That lift is hard to improve on, especially at your level. Great job.

Bad day, I think I was coming down with a cold or something.
9/6/03
Close grip bench press, I think I have to widen my grip, this really kills my elbows.
135 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 3
315 x 3
335 x 1
Should have taken some Motrin before the workout.
Tried a 4 board press but I was too zapped. My diet has been off lately and I've been drinking too much.
9/9/03 Raw day another very shitty day. Very discouraging.

375 x 2 2nd reps was a real struggle.
355 x 2 I assume I'm too worn out from the 375, last week I hit 4 reps, but I didn't have any elbow pain.
Pissed off at myself for letting things get out of hand for the last two weeks.
3 Board press
315 x 3
365 x 3
385 x 1
Spent and the elbow pain is excruciating. It starts during the workout and subsides about an hour after I go home.
One thing that I noticed the last few 3 weeks or so since I widened my bench grip is that I feel pain in my outside tri-head, not like an overdoing it soreness just dull pain. I wonder if this is what is causing my recent bench press problems and elbow pain. It is in both arms and more pronounced in the right arm. In the past I followed everyone’s advice to train through it and that worked, this time it seems worse though.
On a good note my wrist did not give my any trouble yesterday. So it looks like it's finally getting better.
To resolve my diet problem I decided to follow the Anabolic Solution Diet for powerlifters, designed by DR. Mauro Di Pasquale. I was impressed with the variations as to what you want to do, cut, gain mass, gain strength; everything was well laid out amongst all the fluff.
