July 22, 2013 Upper Body


  • Bench Press: 250*1 270*1 280*1 295*1-dirty
  • Pendlay Rows: 205*4 225*2 230*1
  • Push Press: 225*1 235*1
  • Thick Rope Pullups: 5, 4
  • DB Incline: 110*3 110*2
  • Landmine Laterals: 60*3 65*1
39 minutes!

The reps on bench press besides 295 were really smooth.  Guess fears of losing strength from heavy benching every other week were exaggerated.  The 295 was dirty, but whatever.  I was going a bit lower on my chest too than I usually go, I've wanted to get into that habit for years, I think I'm going to use my next session with the light weights as an opportunity to pattern that.  Pendlay rows aren't a really good choice here I don't think, probably regular BB rows are more suited to the heavy workouts.  The new ropes at the gym are really thick, could barely grip them.  Pause.    Good session, quick too! I'm noticing the heavy workouts go by faster since the light workouts are so taxing on my recovery this stuff feels like a breeze.
