30 October 2016

Bench press 290x5, 300x4, 310x3, 315x2, 325x1, 340x1, 350x1

Good pressing session today. I went for a second rep with 350 and my spotter touched the bar on the way up. Think I had it anyway, but I won't count it. It's really encouraging, as I don't think I've ever pressed 350 twice (best double ever was 340 or 345).

Close-grip press 2s x 5-6

Close-grip pulldowns 10-8-6-6-4

Somehow I've gotten much stronger on these. I used to do them from time to time and could never match my regular pulldown weights, but today I exceeded them pretty easily.

6 November 2016

Bench press 295x5, 305x3, 315x3, 320x2, 330x1, 345x1, 360x1

Missed the groove on the 305 set so didn't manage the required 4 reps. Otherwise the workout was a bit sluggish, but strong.
