RPGoodfellow Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I've clearly been out of the running here for a while. I've been out of the gym for about a month or so...eh, looks like life is catching up with me! HAHA! My wife and I are expecting, so the countless doctors apts are killing me. I'm hoping to get back in the gym next week. Only time will tell. I will get back to a 4-plate bench - it just might not be in the confines of this race.

The Natural Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Flat bench1x4, 315 PR 2x5, 315 PR -Rex Nice job Rex! Thanks Bullitt. I told myself a while ago that I'd work up to a heavy single (rare for me) once I could get 3x5 with 315. I'm about there, so next week I may put 385 on the bar and see how close I am to 405. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) Wiped myself out yesterday fabricating a bench for myself outside in the 105+ temp. Benched with it and my squat stands this morning then did grip work with SCT Bench and Skull smashers at the end of the grip workout. Bench 5x135#,3x185#,3x245# 2x305# 1x345# skipped 2nd rep SCT bench 405 x 6sec, 455# x 6sec, 555# x 14sec skull krusher 6 x 170# Grip work went well even though forearms felt tore up and tired to begin with. Closed my easy #4 and 2HPed 235# before work sets with Tim as witness. - Aaron Edited August 9, 2009 by acorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Today was week 9 doubles day: Full workout posted on log. Warmed up with a light set of squats to get the blood pumping: 225X12 Bench: 135X8 185X2 225X2 255X2 285X1 (first one went up very easy. Got stuck right at transition point on 2nd and could not push past it. Little nudge from my spotter and it went up) 260X3 (same deal on 4th rep as 2nd rep with 285 ) Assistance lifts were all kept light. (incline bench, pullups, hammer curls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
