Strength Workout - Bench - Tri's and a little Shoulder

Today was a new beginning for me. We are going to focus on strengthening certain key muscle groups for the benching. Today it was triceps and a little shoulders.

I started with Blue band pull downs

5 sets @ 20 reps

I then did:

4 board close grip bench presses @ 115lb's

1 set @ 11 reps

2 sets @ 12 reps

1 set of press to failure and the did some holds focusing on keeping my elbows in.

We also tied a band around my body and elbows to keep them in during the presses.

I then did 4 sets of 10 plate raises using a 35lb plate

1 minute break between the sets.

And that was it. I wasn't sweating much, but I was spent!
