Bench Press Training - Moderate PR

12 September 2012


Went for a bench press PR today, 370 lbs. x 1, which matches my previous PR. That's a 10 lb. total increase in 2012 (from 360 last year) - not fabulous, but steady on track for the big 405 in a few years' time.

Bench press (regular):

bar x 10 - 135 x 8 - 185 x 3 - 225 x 3 - 275 x 2 - 315 x 1 - 335 x 1 - 355 x 1 - 370 x 1

Close-grip BP 245 lbs. x 10

Pulldowns 3 sets x 20, 1 set x 15

T-bar rows 2 plates x 2 sets x 15, 3 plates x 15, x 10

Incline BP 135x5, 185x5, 225x3

DB skullcrushers (65s) 65 lbs. x 3 sets x 8

Barbell curls (65 lbs) x 15, x 15, x 12

Weighted incline board situps 4 sets (low reps)
