April 11, 2013 Upper Body


  • Incline Bench Paused Rep (Cluster Set): 225*1,1,1,1,1>235*1,1,1,1,1
  • Pullups: 75*3 75*3 75*2 75*2
  • Push Press: 205*1 225*1 235*1/2
  • Unilateral bb t-bar rows: 145*5 155*5160*5
  • DB Bench Press: 120*5 120*4
44 minutes

Well then. I like incline bench, I like paused reps, I love cluster sets.  Decided to combine all three. Started with 225, found it a tad too easy to I threw a 5 on each side after the 5th rep and finished it out.  Took about 40 seconds between each rep.  My chest feels swollen still, sore, and decimated. My whole upper body does after this. Probably the best Thursday workout I've had in ages.  Pullups went well, I'm happy even though numbers are the same as last week, the paused reps really drained my whole upper body so I'm ok with staying pat on them.  Push pressing....honestly after pullups & incline bench my upper body, triceps, and shoulders are just toasted and I have no explosiveness. Putting them back on Mondays with flat benching & rows.   unilateral t-bars went great, starting to use wraps on the last couple sets of them because the weights are getting heavy.  Finished with flat bench using dbs...somehow got an extra rep on the 2nd set over last week.  Completely shocked on that one.
