Pretty sure 220x5 is a PR in wraps, not really sure though, I should really start tracking that stuff I guess[/quote]
220 x5 not shabby my friend! so what does hb stand for? just so i can be fully updated on every little detail
so how do you feel your bench is coming with all the board work?[/quote]
Why thank you HB stands for high bar, basically a weightlifter squat, high bar, no belt
My bench is coming along, I need to do more 5-8 rep range work though I think. It’s always a slow gain for me with bench…long arms/not overly thick from chest to back
3A)Pull ups +10kg - 10/10/10
3B)GHR + mini band - 10/10/10
3C)Push ups + purple band - 10/10/10
Good little deload day of sorts, everything was easier than it should have been which is a great sign. Also decided not to lift in the meet in January, reason being, it’s 7 weeks before nationals, so about 5.5 training weeks in between…not worth it for a little means nothing local meet
A)Decline sit up with kb’s in rack position - 12kg(2)x10x4
B)Hammer Curls - 40x10x4
Was supposed to do 3x5 with 240 on deadlifts, I woke up with a huge knot in my mid back, I slept in a funny position as the dog (8mth old american bulldog) decided to sleep in bed with me, so I just decided instead of straining something, to just do my set number of sets with a pyramid of weight, everything easy, and it’s better in the long run, bench easy, assistance, easy…etc etc etc
Deadlift
70(154lbs)x5
120(264lbs)x3
150(330lbs)x3
190(418lbs)x3
215(474lbs)x2
belt on
240(529lbs)x3
250(551lbs)x2
(no chalk in the gym AND someone decided to fill the bowl with baby powder, which not even noticing I lathered on, bar slipped, washed my hands, tried to brush the bar off, but it was pretty slick after this, the plan was 240x3x5, which I will do thursday instead)
Bench Press - close grip/paused last rep of each set
60(132lbs)x4
75(165lbs)x4
90(198lbs)x4

90(198lbs)x5
130(286lbs)x5
160(352lbs)x3

beastly lifting as always, lots of positive comments on here. but… whats wrong with your bench? no offense
I would imagine that you’d be a lot higher, considering the squats/deads.

None taken, my bench blows, I train with fairly light weights because I bench 4-5x a week, so I’m always in the 75-85% range, so when you see 242x3x3 or something liek that, it’s easy…70% for 3 triples for volume etc. My best raw bench was 145kg, so 319x3, I’ve done 330x1 awhile ago, but haven’t tested a raw max in probably a good 6-7 months. but yes it is my weakest of the 3 lifts. This is no excuse, but I’m very narrow from back to chest, with long arms (hence the deadlift) so I’m not a natural bencher, every 5lbs takes a lot of work for me it seems

There was no one in there, so the culprit escaped, I was hoping Odell would show up so I could take it out on him, but no luck
Incline DB Press
40x10, 50x10, 70x10, 90x10
parallel grip pull downs
135x10, 150x10, 165x10, 180x10
Seated DB Press
40x15x3
Deadlifts and bench were easy peasy today, 265 was flying up, 5 triples with the same weight next week, then a drop back to 550 for 5 3’s, then 275 will be the working weight!
