Troy, I'll echo the keep going heavy. I never thought I would get over 305lb bench b/c my hands and elbows kept hurting. I scaled back my barbell benching by using dumbbells, heavy dips, and keeping the reps low but heavy with the barbell. Also tons of rest. I'm having probably 3-4 days between each BP session b/c of school atm. At first I was concerned with not being able to workout as much, but all my big lifts have gone up with the extra rest I'm 'forced' to get

Pressed 315lbs with ease last week. This was after being stuck at 305 for probably 9 months...
