Hang to 255
218
Bench to 265x1, 275xf, 225x5
Hang- to 225x1 super clean rep but felt so heavy i just left
not sure if need to deload/not train so frikkin heavy or if the fact ive missed some sessions cause of schoolwork is holding me back. considering doing dan john 40 day or at least doing that for everything else while doing a combine 225 bench test program.
20lb standing put- foot foul, foot foul, foot foul, foot foul, 27’6", 28’5". nice.
heres the new math.
Everyday:
Squat- 2 of 5 manageable
Hang- 3 of 3 manageable
(in the vein of dan john 40 day program)
Added every other day:
Bench-
a)warmup to a primer single just over 225
b) unrack something over 100%
c) rep out 225 (or 220, or 230)
&
One bench assistence exercise
Considering:
adding something that opposes bench on bench off days
