Most of the soreness from deadlifts on Tuesday is gone...
Met up with my training partner Ryan Espey in his gym and had a really good bench session.
After a warm up;
BB Bench Press - 245X5, 265X5, 275X7.
Incline DB PRess - 85X8,10,8
Low Cable Crossover - 50X12, 12.
Skullcrushers (EZ bar) - 95X12,11
Close Grip Bench Press - 135X10,12
Straight bar pressdowns - 140X26 (finisher)
Again, the starting weights with the BB bench felt light but focused on pausing at the bottom and being explosive. I failed at the 8th rep attempt on the last set. I can see how in the third week of the cycle the weights will get challenging.
Bench pressing is my favorite and stronger lifts of the four, through two cycles of this I would be really happy with a 10-20 lb 1RM increase...I dont want to set my self up for disappointment though.
I may have to delay my squat session until Saturday as it looks like I wont have a chance to train tomorrow with kids having no school...then go to work after a day of barbies and minecraft. I wish I had every second Friday off from work...
In the meantime I will try and singlehandedly be responsible for the demise of at least 2 chickens....
