RE BENCH:
Strong day today. Got a full night's sleep this time. Started off with flat bench 5x5 with 295 and smoked them all. I went back to a slightly wider grip (pinkey's on rings) because it was too much work for my triceps to press. Triceps felt fatigued by set 3. Still felt great with the wider grip. I think my pec got strained last time because I needed a deload! In fact, it's pretty obvious with all the pressing I've done.
Standing OHP's were strict with 200 lbs. I was scheduled for 205, which was -10 from last time when I did speed bench. Barely got all 3x5. I think next week I'll start back with DE Bench (banded), which means I'll increase back up for OHP's. DE Bench also affords me the ability to add in 2x10 either incline or decline DB presses for the extra pec work. Doing the RE 5x5 rules out any extra pressing like that.
Weighted pullups I kept the extra 35 lb DB for 2x5. I'll probably keep that and start increasing reps again and go from there. I held back a little today. Pulldowns 240 for 2x10 super wide and super easy.
I only did 2 sets of close grip cable rows with 245 lbs instead of my usual three since I'm getting back in the flow coming off of my 2 weeks deloading.
Biceps = Incline curls: 45's (3x10) ss w/
Triceps = Skullcrushers: 80 (3x12) easy.
Did some high rep shoulder prehab for 2x20 and I was done for the day!
