I went from 55x8 to 75x8 on incline DBs in a few months. Seems to be transferring over to my flat barbell bench, since I did 200x4x8 with some effort today. Meet in January. Hoping for 275.
Also I've been doing a lot of work for my shoulders recently. Once a week I'll do OHP 5x5 and add 5 lbs every time I can successfully do the full 5x5. I do 3 push presses for every rep I fail otherwise and try the same weight the next week--I'm on 120 right now. Then I'll do complexes of push press-power jerk-split jerk to failure. I can get up to like 185 on that, but my jerk technique is shit so I'm hoping to improve rapidly once I fix that.
