Speed Bench
Competition Bench: 95x5, 135x5, 225x5, 315x3 (Super Easy)
Doubled Green Bands: 5 reps (Super Unstable)
Doubled Green Bands with Doubled Mini's: 3 sets of 2 (Really Super Unstable and it felt like a ton at the top)
Went to just doubled mini's: 135x5, 225x5, 275x3, 295x3 (4 sets)
Rack Lockouts 4th Pin: Worked up to 405x3
Rack Lockouts 3rd Pin: Worked up to 425x3 for a nice pr then got 455 for a single for another pr
Incline Tates: 50x8, 60x7 (4 sets) (These seriously worked my tri's hardcore!)
Partially Bent Over Laterals: 5 sets of 8
Burn Out Shoulder Presses (Palms Facing Inward): 30x20, 50x15 (2 sets)
Good solid workout. Hit some nice pr's and was more than pleased with being able to lockout 455 when just a few weeks ago I could barely lockout 405 and 425 respectively. I'll start tapering off here starting next week by cutting down on the assistance work. Feeling pretty strong!
A little about me
I have competed in both Olympic Weightlifting and Bench-Only Lifting. I competed in Olympic Lifting as a kid. Best lifts of 255 Olympic Press, 225 Snatch, 255 Clean & Jerk. I met many of the great lifters and coaches from the 60's and 70's. After a 20-year break to serve my country I started lifting regularly again and competing in Bench-Only. Best Lift: 419lbs "equipped".
Feel free to follow along on the adventure...
