Bench Press Training - Ed Coan Routine, Week 10

6 June 2011

Regular bench press 310 lbs. x 2 sets x 2

Not bad, this was the max I used to calculate the routine in the beginning. Warmed up over 3-4 low-rep sets, then nailed the 2x2.

Close-grip bench press 275 lbs. x 2 sets x 2 (tough, but doable)

Incline bench press 235 lbs. x 2 sets x 2

Pullups 5x5

T-bar rows 2 sets x 10

Bent-over rows 135 lbs. x 5, 185 x 5, 235 x 5, 255 x 5

Bottom-up bench presses - worked up to 295 lbs. x 1, failed 315 lbs. Really tired from the previous pressing.

Machine preacher curls 4 sets

Pushdowns 4 sets

Standing rubber band crunches 3 sets
