Chez Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Time to start logging again guys with tonight's workout. I am currently training in my friends garage gym so I switched back to my previous routine even though I was still making great gains on the other one. Reason being is the other one was very long and I didn't want to take advantage of my friend's generosity but staying at his house for hrs and killing his time. This is only the 3rd workout of this routine so its still light and ramping up. Flat Barbell Bench Press 4 warm up sets 255 lbs - 4 sets of 4x 285 lbs - Single. Super easy 200 lbs - 17x. AMRAP. I am not use to these high rep sets now so it will take time to adjust again Incline Barbell Bench Press 185 lbs - 5x 225 lbs - 3x 240 lbs - 3x. Easy - Still getting use to this incline setup. different then the gym setup. Barbell Floor Press (real weight, not smith machine since he has a real power cage) - every rep paused 245 lbs - 3x 265 lbs - 2x 285 lbs - 1x. easy 245 lbs - 5x Straight Bar Triceps Pushdowns on Plate Loaded Cable Machine 100 lbs in plates - 4 sets of 10x. easy. - Skipped Biceps since I hit Standing Dumbbell Hammer Curls in the community Fitness Room Monday night. - Time to get back in the groove again. Apocalypse training. Onwards! Edited April 2, 2020 by Chez 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Was going to give 300 a ride but as I warmed up shoulders would not loosen up and elbow was popping and cracking. So after 245, I put some reverse bands on. Slack at top, about 100 off at bottom. After hitting 355 on that, lost the bands and doubled 282 raw Should have tried 300 fresh. Next session. Btw, I'm wearing 2X Elitefts knee sleeves. Given my elbow problems, that is how I'll always bench going forward. Pretty loose, but they might give me 5 - 10 lbs. No idea. Just wanted to put it out there. 355 reverse band bp: 0 at lockout, about 100 off at bottom. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For bench I'll do the bar for 3-4 sets and then do another 2-3 sets with 95lbs before putting even a plate on Same with dbs. I'll do a few sets with 20's and a couple more with 30's. Sometimes more before even getting into 50's etc I have been using my cheap Amazon sleeves to keep the joints warm. Highly doubt they help as I can pull them on with one hand easily. But they do help stay a bit warmer Edited April 4, 2020 by king crusher 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny, but before I started doing high rep benches in the last couple years I never knew I was disproportionately stronger with them. At the same time I’ve discovered I’m better with low reps on squats. This is all based on me putting in my numbers with rep calculators. With deadlifts I’m closer to balanced. And thanks, Mike!

Mike Rinderle Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Got 300 today on bench. Honestly that was my goal all along. It's been fun, but going to back off now and do rep work for 3-4 weeks and let the joints heal up. Then we'll see. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
