3/28/12-ME Bench
Workout:
GPP: Chins bwx10,10,6,6. not really gpp i guess but makes me better none the less
2 Board Press w/ comp grip
275x1
315x1
335x1, easy
355x0 just shy of lockout
345x1 PR, not bad. Really hammering my bench form in.
Dips w/ bands
Bw+doubled up monster mini and mini bandx8
Bw+2 doubled up mini bandsx8
Bw+1 doubled up mini bandx12 (it felt like the band weight was the same the whole way thru and they were just yanking me down, made my tris contract very hard)
Hang Cleans
175x3x3 (never do these, just working on the form, my partner does strong man so he wants to start to work on his clean more)
Banded Medicine Ball Pushdowns+Pullaparts
2 mini bands+140lbsx33/monster minix40
2 mini bands+170lbsx23/monster minix30
2 mini bands+190lbsx12/monster minix30
2 mini bands+140lbsx32
4 way neck machins
35lbs for 2 sets of 10, tweaked my neck last week taking it easy.
Notes: Overall great session and a big step up from where ive been the last few weeks. Idk how much 2 board presses will help me as it feels like I barly have to lower the bar. Next cycle is full bench so Im excited to see how things go. Ive hit PRs on my main 3 variations of bench, floor press was 245 now 275, Cambered bar was 245 for 1 and now its 270x2, and 2 board is now 345 for 1 where it was 335 before. Im excited anyways.
