Cycle 4 Week 1 Bench Press

Trained later than usual tonight at about 9pm. The good thing about that is that I have lots of energy (see-food) in me.
Started with a really good warmup. Rode the airdyne bike for about 12 minutes before touching the weights. Some light very minimal range of motion cable curls with a reverse grip to warm up the elbow tendons.

BB bench - 135X15X3, 225X8.

Working sets - 270X5, 290X5, 305X6.

Almost got 7 but didn't need to push it.

Continued on with a chest and tricep workout.

DB incline bench - 85X10, X8, X8.
CG bench with pause - 225X3X3 superset with cable crossover - 55X9X3.
EZ bar skullcrushers - 95X10, X8, X6 superset with straight bar pressdowns - 140X10, X8, X7.

Best bench/chest/tri workout I've had in a while. The deload week definately paid off, that is the first bench workout I've had pain free in a long time. I can't pinpoint exactly what is working but a combination of the rest, glucosamine and the elbow sleeves is working and that's really good.

Hooking up with a buddy tomorrow at his gym for a squat session.
