DE Upper Body IV: A New Hope

I felt pretty sore going into this, so it was nice to hit everything. Deload next week, mos def

Speed Bench:
185 + 60 lbs chain, 8 x 3
205 + 60 lbs chain, 1 x 3

Speed is improving, especially the close-grip

Rippetoe-Style* Standing Overhead Press:
*This means: no leaning back, no pushing with the legs, pausing the bar at the bottom to make each rep a concentric contraction, ending the movement with the bar over the head.

185, 3 x 5 (3 sets of 5 reps)
205, 1 x 2

The 205 was an indicator for a weight increase, so hitting is is good!

Pull-Ups:
Bodyweight + 16 lbs chain, 5/5/4/4/3 (21)

Hanging Leg Raises:
Bodyweight, 4 x 5
