First mistake was trying to max out a few days before doing it again! You just killed yourself on dong that. So your max will be less then what you did today... there is no way to get it up, just rest now and don't worry. Why does it matter if you need a big bench? Just focus in the off-season.

gakic... lol..

Just kidding... eat a crap load... up the carbs big time... and rest... that won't help you bench more than normal, just will allow you to optimally reach your max...

Just make sure you read up on the proper technique for hitting big bench, eat properly before and make sure your well rested and hydrated and you should do well.

Yes it is but it isnt the same as offseason.We're not able to lift as much and not given as much time to rest between workouts.
