4 April 2011
Started the Ed Coan routine in the hope of kick-starting my lagging bench press. I don't know if it's just me being uncomfortable with high reps, but I can honestly say this is the toughest pressing session I have ever done. I even used a rather conservative one-rep max of 310 lbs.
The first part (regular bench press) was tough, but doable. However, the close-grip bench presses totally floored me and I had to lower the incline press weight to a meager 135 lbs. instead of the 185 the program called for. I have never done any serious incline pressing, so I guess I'll have to catch up with this part of the program.
Regular bench press: warmup, then 210 lbs. x 2 sets x 10
Close-grip bench press: 195 lbs. x 2 sets x 10
Incline bench press: 135 lbs. x 2 sets x 10
This kicked my ass so bad that I just messed around with a few more exercises and called it a day.
Pullups/chinups 6 sets x 5
Low pulley rows 3 sets x 8-10
Olympic bar bicep curls 3 sets
Olympic bar skullcrushers 5 sets
DB hammer curls 3 sets
