Friday Night Strength Workout - Bench

The boys and I did some more bench work last night. I was doing regular bench again going for max.

I started with my standard warmup

10 reps BAR

6 reps @ 95

4 reps @ 125

I then went right to 155lb's

I was hitting it but I was doing too much of a "belly" bump.

I dropped to 135 and worked on technique, special attention on raising my belly, tightening my lats...

I did 3 reps focusing on technique.

I went to 165lb and did 2 attempts, both were good and technique was good also.

I then did 1 rep @ 175, clean!

I then did a 185lb attempt. I did it, but it was dirty....

New PB's again! I was very happy about these results.

I moved on to 1 arm DB presses laying on the bench @ 45lb's, 4 sets of 10.

The last sets on each side I failed @ 9 reps and 8 on left arm.

I finished with my blue band pull downs, 5 sets of 20.

A great day for me. I have added 50lb's to my bench in 8 weeks. Very happy!
