Dynamic/Repetition Effort Bench
Speed Bench: 9 sets of 3 w/225 straight weight
Flat Dumbbell Bench: 125lb 1 set of 8
110 1 set of 13 (WTF?)
100 1 set of 12 (Again WTF?)
Skull Crushers: 4 sets of 8
Tried out my new variation on a JM Press except its with dumbbells and the palms facing each other, did 3 sets of 5 ultra strict reps with very light weight and boy my tri's are fried. Gonna call these 100% T-Bone Presses because I think I invented them haha.
Seated Rows: 5 sets of 8
Side Shoulder Raises: 3 sets of 8
Trying to keep the volume up as well as develop those important muscle groups which will aid me in my bench. Bodyweight as of this morning was only 299 (Again I say WTF?) but I'm eating like a beast again and am going to try to be a really big 308 or a semi big SHW. I feel really good after lifting this first week back with some soreness but nothing I haven't been through before. Should be a good cycle I'm going through!
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...
