Spring 2009 Training
Mesocycle 6 - Week 2
Press Day

Beginning Thoughts:

This is Saturday's workout...

Workout:

Pallof Press:
27.5 lbs x 12 reps x 3 sets

Banded Bench Press:
135 lbs x 3 reps
155 lbs x 3 reps
165 lbs x 3 reps
175 lbs x 2 reps

Bench Press:
205 lbs x 2 reps
225 lbs x 2 reps
240 lbs x 1 rep
The set with 240 lbs was BARELY a hit. Today was just a good day...

Special Bar Pull-ups:
BW x 4 reps x 8 sets
BW + 20 lbs x 2 reps x 4 sets
A total of 40 reps on Pull-ups = Awesomeness 

Push-ups:
BW x 10 reps x 5 sets

Facepulls:
100 x 10 reps x 3 sets

Pallof Press:
27.5 lbs x 12 reps x 3 sets

Videos:

Nothing worth it although I wish I had taken a clip of the 240 bench....

Overall Impression:

I am descending WAY too slowly on the bench press. It's causing me to burn out very quickly on the way up. Sucks.
