      This question is in regards to bench press-

      I recently finished up a 10 week block that ended with a PR attempt on bench. I did manage a 10 lb pr and then attempted to go to a higher weight after but failed due to a misgroove on my part. I’m going to start a new block in about a week but I really feel like I have a lot more in the tank to hit the same number. Is it even worth trying to retest my max? If so, how long should I wait?

      Should I check my ego or go for it again? I am recreational lifter by the way.

      First, congrats n the PR.

      Second:
      Do not re test!

      Third:

      Do not re test

      Take the win.

      A win is a win and a 10 pound PR is awesome.

      Test when we call for it.

      Check that ego.

      You will hit a new PR on the next test.
