Bench Press Training - Partials Day 2

4 October 2011

Bench press partials:

Position 1 (2 inches off chest):

135 lbs. x 10
185 lbs. x 8
225 lbs. x 3
250 lbs. x 3
265 lbs. x 4, x 3, x 3, x 2, x 2

When I hit at least 4 sets of 4 I'll up the weight.

Position 2 (7-8 inches off chest):

275 lbs. x 1
300 lbs. x 1
320 lbs. x 1 x 3 sets
330 lbs. x 1
335 lbs. x 1
345 lbs. x 1

HammerStrength seated horizontal rows 3 sets

Pullups 3 sets x 8

Overhead press partials - press from eye level (my sticking point):

185 lbs. x 2
190 lbs. x 1
195 lbs. x 1

Pretty stoked at this, eye-level is where my presses usually stall so getting 195 lbs. from this position is not bad at all.
