this would have been an okay session, if my b/w wasn’t so skyhigh this weekend. Bench is stressing me out.

Those were pretty serious RDLs.
I can’t offer any advice on bench. I’m hoping that you come up with the answer so I can steal it.

Ummm I have a request…Sick of it All “Step Down” may be one of my top 5 songs of all time…

I’m glad that set of RDL’s got acknowledged haha, it was absolutely one of the hardest sets I’ve ever done. I’ve got three weeks of reverse band dl’s coming up to give me an idea of where im at for my meet, and after the RDL, i’m hopeful.

The bench is frustrating. I hate my shirt, and my backup shirt is way way way too big. The backup shirt is the loose metal bash I have on in the video, the shirt I planned to use it a 46 titan katana, which I hate. I wish my shirt work sundays were more like my raw bench wednesdays.

I can absolutely play that, good choice.

And now that Ive responded to the only two people who read my log, on to today’s training.

Light Squat deload. We planned to do some double with roughly the weigh same we had used two weeks ago, but without the accommodated resistance. Here’s what I did. We have a full gear free squat next week ( even though my briefs wont be here in time…) so today was a nice easy to get out of the gear, and get some muscle work in. We had fun.

Warmup:
shoulder rotation and band three ways ( fucked something up on the bench last night)
lying band abduction
foam rolling
lots of hip stretching

Free Squats with the Safety Squat Bar
80lbsx3
167lbsx3
255lbsx3
299lbsx2
344lbsx3x2
355lbsx2x2
365lbsx2

Glute Ham Raises with weight to chest
10kgx5
15kgx5
20kgx8 i think, I’mm check when i post the video
10kgx2x10

One legged glute ham raises
Left legx 0,0,0
Right legx 0,0,1

Pretty stoked on that one rep with my right leg.

Spud Strap Abs 3x12

Sled Drags. This was awful. 3/5 of our guys got sick. 2/5 guys managed to run with the sled, including yours truly.
240lbsx2x200ft

Speed Bench, gettin jacked

Really weird and stressful day, got into the gym late because my car wouldnt start.

Anyway

quick warmup: bunch of band 3 ways and rotations, skipped my usual grip stuff

Swiss Bar Bench Press with Double Monster Mini Bands. Alernated between two different handles each set.
Barx3
50kgx2x3
57.5kgx2x3
65kgx2x3
75gx3
80kgx3

the last set was hard as shit, band tension feels like a lot more on this bar than the straight bar, and the handles are so fucking thick. I bruised my palms from squeezing it so hard. I didnt use wrist wraps today either, that didnt help.

65sx15
70sx15
75sx19

Swiss Bar Ext 40kgx3x10
