mobsterone Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 [B]Friday[/B] @ Powerhouse gym. A horrid snotty / throat thing last night meant sleep could have been a LOT better. The extra bodyweight doesn't help either. So... [U]Iso Mid Row [/U] It was meant to be thick bar deadlifts but I want that big bench more so a pump in my upper back took priority to 100kg x 6 reps (easy once I got going) s/s [U]Close Grip Bench Press[/U] Usual broomstick warm up. The faster I move the better the bench will be. Speed = power. Then 60kg x 8 reps fast, 80kg x 6 reps fast, 120kg x 1 rep (paused and feet up), 140kg x 1 rep, 160kg x 1 rep. All done with no spot as I was starting to feel ok now. 170kg x 1 rep. This was kinda screwy. I came up so quick it went out of the groove but I pulled it back and then preceded to try and bench the bench itself as I was pushing against the J-hook. So I lowered it a fraction and then racked it. It actually made me confident if I could recover from a mishap and still complete the lift. Then I took my time. I have sleeves on for all lifts above 120kg and made sure to wear a tight supportive top (actually a work top from Lidls). I also wear a support belt too. 180k/396lbs flew up. So what the h88k... might as well try more right? A few more minutes and 185kg went up to. Now when you think it's been close to, if not actually, 14 years, since I did 180kg and my all time best was 190kg I'd say it all worked out ok right 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
