Chez Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Did a light session tonight guys of 4x10 paused bench upping the weight 10 lbs a set then slightly heavier 3x10 pauses incline bench followed by 3x5, 1x10 paused floor presses and then 4 sets of 10 triceps pressdowns. First Rehab bench workout. Felt good. No issue with the pec. Doing to another super light dB session Saturday with 20 rep sets. Going to increase the weight for the sets 10 lbs next week. Just finished icing. Feeling good but taking it slow 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so he didn't misunderstood me, I then proceeded to tell him that he was the absolute worst salesperson I have seen in 30 years of business and that I wasn't sure who he blew to keep his job, because I wouldn't hire him to twirl a sign on the side of the road. Long hours may not be a problem soon. Probably should have had a snickers and took a nap. The truth is dangerous in these times and all times, Mike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I can usually refrain from career limiting moves. Sometimes it just flows out like the time I tried to beer bong a 5th of cheap bourbon in high school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen someone hold their liquor like he did, he didn't throw that up but his face got beet red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy with it, but I keep coming up a rep short of my goal. But I did put 8 pounds more on the bar than I originally planned. Yes, my bench is in the 350 neighborhood. I’m gonna max out when I can hit 363. 10 hours ago, Chez said: strong work Thank you, Chez!

Mike Rinderle Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 1st day in a week I've been able to hit the shed. Work has been crazy. Pretty happy with this set. Touched low on my last rep and got a little out of the groove or it might not have been quite as grindy. I had ballooned back up to 270. Working 12-16 hour shifts the last 2 weeks has helped me drop 7 lbs. So back to 263 this morning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Raised the weights again this week as I continue to rehab the pec tweak but still light stuff. Good news is no issue with the pec. More weight next week. Trying to be patient and smart: Flat barbell Bench - every rep paused warms ups 135 - 10x 155 - 10x 175 - 10x 195 - 10x Incline Barbell Bench 135 - 10 paused reps 185 - 10x 205 - 10x Barbell Floor Press - every rep paused 185 lbs - 5x 205 - 5x 225 - 5x 205 - 10x tricep pushdowns 100 lbs in plates - 4 sets of 10x side note - we weighed my buddy’s 45 lb plates last weekend and almost every plate weighed heavy with most weighing 48 and change and one weighing 50 and changed. We always suspected cause weights always feel heavier in his home gym and now we know for sure Edited May 14, 2020 by Chez 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s so simple: double the kilos and add 10% of that figure. Or just do Powerlifting all your life and have the numbers memorized.
