Workout
Tuesday 14th January - Strength- Week 13 - Day 2 - Upper - Afternoon
Good workout today, slightly too long for my tastest, but not too bad.
Workout time - 1 hour 15mins
Workout rating - 9/10
Warmup
Did my general warmup - dynamic swings etc, and 10 reps with 25lb in various exercises - pull, press, oly goodmorning, snatch grip BN press, hang powerclean for a few
(in Chucks)
Lowered to 2inches below the knee
Hang powerclean 45lbs x 8, 89lbs 2x5
14inch Grip BenchPress
Warmups - 14inch grip Bar - 3 static holds for 6 secs each on the way down then x8
Pushups on High bench - 3 static holds for 6 secs each on the way up then x5 plyo style
95lbs x5, 135x5
Tempo - 10X0 Rest - Alternating with rows 1.5 mins between each
175x3, 205x1, 225lbs x5 New PR!! + 1 rep
Tempo 92X0 - 2 second hold above chest then slightly bounced
180lbs x2, 155lbs 2x2
While my PR on this is 225x4, that was done quite fast with a slight bounce on the chest. Today the eccentric was udner control and just a slight touch on the chest, concentric felt much more zippy. So I’m stronger for sure. Guess those miniband dive bomb benches complexed with ISO Hold plyo pushups I did last week helped
5th rep was slow as hell at the top, I was that close to giving up but gritted it through. 2 more reps from my short term goal of 5 explosive reps.
Definitely no leg drive here, my feet were skimming the floor, and no pysche up
