ME Bench

Woke up at 9:15 when I was supposed to be at the gym at 9. I made it by 9:30 but I was half awake for a while.

Bench Press w/ shirt:
275 x 1
315 x 1
365 x 1
375 x 1 (PR)

I felt so asleep for this, haha. 375 wasn't too bad but I think my butt may have come up a little. I'll need to practice for not doing that.

Floor Press:
225 x 5
275 x 3
315 x fail
305 x 1

Perhaps my floor press max is about the same as my raw bench max. That's kind of sad :[

ultra-wide bench press w/ the fat bar:
225 x 5
275 x 5

This felt horrible on my wrists. I thought the fat bar would be easier (as it is normally), but the wide grip made my hand position much more awkward.

parallel-grip dumbbell bench press:

90 x 8
100 x 6
100 x 5
100 x 4


Finished with 4 supersets of preacher curls and those hanging reverse shrug for posture.

Nice PR.

I'm in the same boat with floor press >= raw bench. Wendler says this means you need to learn to use your legs.
