Sparty's Training Log

8/28

Today is my second day on Jason’s program. Today was a bench day.

Bench Press Work Sets:
210x5
210x5
210x5
210x5
210x5

3 Board Press:
225x8
230x8
245x8

The first set was the last I unracked myself, and it was a little shaky. That’s why I only went up to 230 on the next, but I got a lift off and it was a lot more solid. With a lift off and some confidence after my second set I bumped up to 245. I felt strong with 245; I sort of misgrooved the first one and had to get it back after that, but everything until the last rep felt quick.

Incline DB Press:
50s x10
50s x10
50s x10
50s x10
50s x10

I felt kind of weak grabbing the 50s, but I knew I had 5 sets of 10 reps to do, and I was glad I didn’t go heavier. From the third set on, the last few reps were grinders. I’d trashed my triceps going into the DB presses, and I really couldn’t have gone much heavier at that time.

My triceps were lit up after this session. I’m going to enjoy Wednesday by eating and sleeping a lot. Next time in the gym is Thursday for deadlifts - which will be a bitch.
