Monday, April 9, 2012 - Fucking Smash PRs Day: Part II
Warm up
- PVC roll everything
- Lots of stretching
- Band stretching
- Rotator cuff
Flat Bench Press
1 X 15 X 45
2 X 6 X 135
1 X 3 X 185
1 X 1 X 205
1 X 1 X 225
1 X 1 X 255
2 X 2 X 285* +10 lb. & +2 rep PR.
NOTES: Got these. The first rep of each set was easy. I felt like I could’ve handled 295, maybe even 300 tonight. The first set went pretty well. I got both of the reps by myself. The second rep of each set was a grinder, but I got them, nonetheless. I’m thankful for that. Looking for 295 for 2 singles next week. Who knows after that. I’m sure I have 300 in me.
Paused Close-grip Bench Press
2 X 2 X 240* +15 lb. PR.
NOTES: Went up 15 lbs this week because last week was too easy. Got both sets easy as well. The first set, I touched too low on my chest, causing my back to flatten and lose tightness. The second set, I touched a bit higher, and they just exploded off the chest. Another great week of these.
Incline Bench Press
2 X 1 X 235* +10 lb. PR.
NOTES: The most I’ve ever done on incline is 240, and these reps were pretty easy. I’m looking for 245, maybe 250 next week for singles.
Triceps Pushdowns Latter
2 X 8 X 30
2 X 8 X 40
2 X 8 X 50
2 X 8 X 60
2 X 8 X 70
2 X 8 X 80
2 X 8 X 90
NOTES: These were done all in a row. We did 8 reps with a weight, went up, and kept going. We did 2 rounds of this. My triceps were fried after that.
Pec Dec Flyes
2 X 12 X 100
ENDING NOTES: Another great bench session tonight. Three plates is closer than I think. The close-grips are coming along again. Incline is iffy, but I’m not too concerned about that. Got squats on Wednesday. Looking for 380 for a single. We’ll see how it goes. I gotta get a huge bloat going for that one.
