Bench Press - Heavy

29 August 2014


Bench press:

315x3/320x2/330x1
320x3/325x2/335x1
345x3/355x2/375x1

375 for a very fatigued single is not bad. But I don't think I like this ladder program very much, it takes way too long and my joints kinda hurt from the constant heavy singles. Will do it one more week, then take a week off (vacation), then restart the 6/5/3/2/1 heavy bench press program.

Push press 135x3, 185x3, 205x3 - this didn't feel good. Instead of push presses which I've always sucked at, I'll just do incline presses on a 3x3 scheme.

Partial close-grip presses 295x3, 300x2sx3 - these felt pretty good

Preacher curl machine 3 sets

Face pulls 4-5 sets of 20, didn't really count
