Bench - The Volkswagen

Started with Bench.  Last week I did:

225 x 6
225 x 4
225 x 3
225 x 3
I had way too much rest time between sets.  I am trying a new idea to get to a 275 bench.  I am adding 5lbs every week and trying to bench it as many times a possible.  So this week I did
230 x 6
230 x 4 but spotter helped on last one
230 x 3
230 x 1 I was burned out
According to the bench calcuculator I should be able to bench 276.  230 six times is probably a resent PR for me.  I will go for 235 next week.

Finished with this WOD:

The Volkswagen 4.0

15, 12, 9 reps of:
Bench Press @ bodyweight + 5 lbs  (170lbs)
Weighted Pull Ups w/ 50 lbs

Chest was toast on this one.  I also had trouble holding the weight with my feet on Pull-ups and never did more than six at a time.

Forgot the exact time but it was 12 something.
