LOG # 273
Bench ME
Warm up:
just the bar x 10
135 x 2
155 x 2
175 x 1
190 x 1 I had perhaps 10-15 more pounds left in the tank, and one or two jumps, but I’m finding not completely exhausting my bench press is the way to go, because I typically feel it in my triceps and lats where my number will fall that day. Or even week.
Switched it up this session by ditching the accessory work for this one time, did one assist movement, and trained deads
Floor press: 135lbs worked 5 rep sets. Wasn’t counting the sets. Just working the groove and learning how to work without the use of leg drive.
Not sure what it is about mastering the 315 mark, but once 315 is something you can do on your worst day, it’s pretty easy to use it as a working set.
Granted I was feeling extra confident so I went and took 315 to failure just to see what that number was in relative speak. Managed to get 13. Not too bad. Not too bad.
Finished with foam rolling, and empty bar deadlifts.
Definitely getting the feel for listening to myself. While this session topped out at 2 whole hours, I spent a great deal of time focusing on being aware of how I was feeling. As time goes it be able to assess it quicker.
