Grats broooo! Those were my numbers too! I remember when I hit my goal of 225 bench.. and did it 3 times (4 slight unassist)

I'm not sure what your training was like to increase your numbers, however I did a largely volume dominant drop-set on bench. I'd do my normal 3x10 warm ups, 5x5 working, then dropped weight back down the 5x5 weight I just did and go 1x10, 1x12, or just depending on how I felt. All subjective numbers. I knew what I was trying to hit on the burn out at the end but ultimately would do more, sometimes less.

Only sharing this because I struggled to get my bench up for the longest time. Hitting back and shoulders 3 times a week, hard, I think also helped

Oh I should mention, while its probably shunned upon and quite possibly why I injured my shoulder, is test my 1rm once, sometimes twice a week, maybe every other week, sometimes every week. It varied. Curious of your routine man :D

Hit a snatch pr of 157x1 and 236x1 for clean and jerks

2nd week snatching, first time jerking, form on both needs work but itll come with time

i've been getting some coaching while i do them, i have a bit of trouble getting my elbows up just another inch or 2 on cleans and i have trouble getting under the bar on snatches, the 157x1 was a power snatch, im sure i could get much higher if i could get underneath it more
