I strained my pec about 5 weeks ago, I decided to bench with one of the high school athletes I train and see where I was at.

He was doing some triples at 205, so I figured it would be a perfect first workout back for me.

Bench Press 3x10 @ 45, 95, 135 supersetted with facepulls x 20 8x 155 6x175 4x185 - Those 3 sets were supersetted with band wall walks ( I like to train with my athletes every once in awhile because I make them do all the prehab work that most lifters should be doing and usually skip out on, myself included.) 6x3 @ 205 lbs - 100% pain free. About 50% of my max, but a good start

Accessory work: Physio ball pushups 3x10 superset pullup 3x10

Farmers walk 3x50 yards @80 lbs per hand superset ab roller 3x10

It was a great workout. I can tell I'm out of shape so hopping in with one of my best athletes was rough.
