I'm not physically or mentally ready for a run at the BW challenge and am not in a hurry to get there. I do think when I get back to the lift that I'll try some ramping 3x8s, slowly building from 95#, just to tease out where/when my comfort level breaks down and if I can push that point upward. But given the progress I've made at 95# just by putting it in as a regular part of my routine-- I think that is where I'm going to end up. There doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to push it. Also: PVC pipe helped my progress (too) at the beginning even more than fighting a naked bar.
