Bench Assistance

This was a longer workout, but didn't seem that way since i woke up only minutes before leaving for the gym, and so wasn't very aware of what was going on. This definitely affected my military press.

Seated Military Press:
185 x 5 @9
185 x 5 @9
195 x 3 + 1f @10
195 x 3 @9


Band-lightened Bench:
275 lbs x 9? 10? @8
295 lbs x 5, 5 @8
315 lbs x 5 @8.5
295 lbs x 3 + laughing + 1 @10 (Due to laughing)
275 lbs x 5 @ 7

Did these with Matt calling out press calls. I switched half way back into my oly shoes, which made a huge difference off the chest.

Standing Pin Press:
135 x 5
155 x 5
185 x 3, 4
135 x 10

Last set was much quicker and focused on explosion.

Finished with a 5 sets of chin ups, flyes and MTS rows.

The @ is use to rate how hard the exercise was. Check out Mike T's article on this from his book Reactive Training System. It's a good way to keep track of how you were feeling that day too for when you look back at the workouts.
