Today was a scheduled rest day and I did my best to make sure I didn't do anything to screw up my training plan for the upcoming week. This was easier said than done since I was at a Powerlifting Cert. where there were guys putting up big weight everywhere you looked!
AM: Light recovery run - about 2 miles
10 sets of bench press @ light-moderate weight
- About 8 sets of 3 reps @ 135#
- 2 sets of 3 with 185#
- 2 sets of 2 reps @ 185# + 40# of chains
- 1 set of 1 rep @ 225
- 1 set of 1 rep @ 235
Felt pretty good about these numbers since I have not been benching at all over the past year. Only the last few weeks have I been doing some close bench press work.
Was not too disappointed to put up 235. I think I could have done more but I definitely lifted my butt off the bench toward the end of that lift so, need to fix that before going up in weight.
The best thing though is that by refining my technique, this exercise no longer kills my shoulder!!!
