Same as you do for a gripper, you need the right equipment, a witness, and a video posted online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongman1 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 I didn't forget, Matt, I thought it was a secret 8/27/12 - mon Bench - Gillespie wk 4 - max out 2 x 285 1 x 315 1 x 325 1 x 355 - 5 lb pr. 6 x 305 Strict Cable Row 1 x 6 x 250 2 x 8 x 270 Band Pull Aparts 3 x 20 All the bench sets felt bad, up until 325. Going to deload next week. For whatever reason my elbows have flared up. For doing just a 4 week program, I'm happy with any PR. Benched once a week, pretty much no pressing assistance. After the heavy set(s) each week, the "lighter" sets we're pretty tough, so probably like doing assistance work anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongman1 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) 9/10/12 - mon Bench - week 1 of the Gillespie 8 week program 5 x 270 4 x 280 3 x 290 8 x 250 13 x 250 Cable Row 2 x 8 x 280 My calves are extremely sore from hill sprints. Not sure if was because I ran in Chucks, because I walked down the hill backwards, or both. Just walking yesterday was hard. Matt, this seems to be the best way to communicate with you, lol; I'll be in vegas for a couple days, so i'll miss Wed. I'll be back for the weekend.

strongman1 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 9/24/12 - mon Bench - Gillipsie week 3 1 x 3 x 300 2 x 2 x 310 1 x 1 x 325 - very easy, felt lighter than ever, but..... felt something strange in my right pec tested pec with 1 x 270. Yes, something is wrong, so stopped here. I didn't hear a pop, and I don't have any bruising, so hopefully it's minor. Could've been worse. 325 felt so easy I was going to throw on 365 even though it's not in the program. Good thing I didn't.

strongman1 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 10/15/12 - mon In Vegas, went and found a gym, almost forgot what goes on at commercial gyms. It was a highlight reel of partial lifts. Some innovators were doing partial partials. Bench 3 x 315 - horrible spotter helped on the 4th rep 8 x 275 The only thing that exceeded the slipperiness of the bar was the bench. DB Rows a bunch throughout the workout, up to 125 DB Rev Fly Stretch Walked a couple miles. Right pec is feeling pretty good, no issues.
