Training - Bench Press

4 November 2012

Bench press: 320 lbs. x 2 sets x 3, 3 sets x 2

I'm just not recovering on time, was still sore from the last bench press session. Not a bad effort overall, but definitely not the 5x3 I was looking for. Next week I'm switching to sets of 3 - will start at 325 and take it from there.

Smith machine seated BTN press x 4 sets (last set was sort of heavy, didn't count the weight as I don't know how much the bar weighs)

Straight-arm pulldown 3 sets x 6

Low pulley row 2 sets x 10, 1 set x 8

DB skullcrushers (75s) 3 sets x 8

Seated alternating curls 3 sets

Training - Squat

2 November 2012


High-bar close-stance squat:

Warmup x a few sets - 315x5 - 365x5 - 435x3x5

Belt on last 4 sets. Burned the quads nicely, but I'm not sure if I can keep cranking up the weight on these or revert to my regular low-bar stance.

Leg press 10 reps with: 5 plates - 6 plates - 7 plates (done)]

Glute-ham raise 3 sets x 6-8

Weighted incline board situps 4 sets, heavy
