Bench Singles

Bench (brief pause)
215 x 1 @9-
235 x 1 @10- (5 lb PR) -very brief pause if any
240 x fail -had a solid pause on this one, got it up to about a 3 board and couldn't grind it out
On the 235 set the weight went up pretty quickly right after I got past about the 3 board region, which is right about where I've set up pin presses these past 2 weeks. Perhaps they've helped?

Speed bench (purples doubled around pin 6)
185 for 9 sets of 3

Incline bench
145 x 5
155 x 5
165 x 5
175 x 5

Machine shrugs
10 plates x 15
12 plates x 31 (added straps)
14 plates x 31
16 plates x 23
All PRs thanks to Ryan setting the number of reps.

Close grip pullups
BW x 20, 12, 10
ss'ed w/ 3 sets of Kneeling abs

Real reason for the bench PR...getting fatter: post-training BW - 193.4 lbs

First person hits x reps, second person hits > x reps. That's how machine shrugs work.

Vit said...

i'll wait til closing to go second.
