Bench Press Partials Training

11 October 2011

Started out with some heavy overhead pressing, then switched to bottom-position bench presses. These hurt my left shoulder in a weird way, so I did some board presses instead.

Overhead press:

Warmup - sets of five, then triples, then singles  to 185 lbs.
200 lbs. x 1
210 lbs. x 1
215 lbs. x 1
225 lbs. x 1
235 lbs. x fail

Bottom-position presses - 2 inches off chest:

135 lbs. x 10
185 lbs. x 5
225 lbs. x 3

Board presses - to around 5 inches off chest: worked up to 315 lbs. x 1. Might do these more often.

Pullups 3 sets x 8

Bent-over rows 135x8, 185x5, 205x5, 225x5, 245x4

Tricep pushdowns 3 sets x 12

EZ bar curls 4 sets

Double-KB bottoms-up presses 3 sets

Double-KB muscle cleans (without bending legs) 3 sets
