Bench Day

We had a good workout tonight. Things felt off but that what happens when you skip an entire bench week. Last week was a deload and the kids had some extra things going on and I had to move some things around. Bench is going the best right now so it got the axe for the week.

Bench

135 3 sets of 5

225 for 2

315 for 2

405 for 2

20 second Rest pause set

465 for 2,2,1,1

465 for 2, rest 20 seconds, 2 more reps, rest 20 seconds, 1 more rep, rest 20 seconds, 1 last rep.

These reps with the rest pause style are a challenge.

CAT bench

385 for 3 sets of 3

Dead bench

3 singles

405, 425, 450

Paused close grip Incline bench with elitefts shoulder saver pad

135 for 3

225 for 3

3215 for 3

350 for 5

Banded crossovers

3 sets of 15

Incline Db Tate press

50s for 8

65s for 8

75s for 8

Battle ropes

4 20 second sets with 30 seconds in between sets

I push for tricep and delt work on these and it burns them up.

DONE
