ME BENCH: Gettin' crazy!
2 Board Press:
225 x 5
275 x 3
315 x 2
345 x 1
375 x 1
405 x 1 (+10 PR)
315 x 6 DROP
315 x 5 DROP
- Exploded every rep up. Getting a lot stronger all around. I haven't done these in a while. I wasn't going to try for the PR, but I figured if I could do it all the way down touching my chest, then there's no reason at all why I could not do it with 2 boards.
4 Board Press:
315 x 5
355 x 8
- I thought my triceps would have been spent, so I went with 355 instead of the 365 this time thinking I'd like to hit 5 good ones. I ended up blasting up 8 reps. So next time it's 365.
Pendlay Rows: 295 x 3 x 8 (+10 PR)
Seated DB Press: 70 x 3 x 10
- Those were way too easy. To make it a little harder, I only had about a minute or so between sets. I was tempted to just drop the 70's after the first couple of reps, but I figured to play it conservative since everything after my first two ME lifts aren't supposed to be failure training.
Seated Rear Lateral Raises: 40 x 3 x 10
- LOL, haven't bothered with these in forever. I like them a lot though. I'm going to keep a rotation going every 3-4 weeks between these and face pulls.
Barbell Curls [105 x 3 x 10] ss w/ Banded Pressdowns [2 x 20]
- Great day... Again. I think by possibly not doing my DE lower days it kinda acted as a half-assed deload because I feel completely recharged.
