Kik - Aug20 - Bench - Volume

After reading in the RTS manual once more, I had to learn that Tuchscherer does not suggest sets of 6 reps. Looks like my mind was a little too creative here, but I figured I will go with 6 reps this week and keep he weights low. This will be good for my tendons, joints, and ligaments. On top of that, I will eat like a madman and harvest bigger muscles due to hypertrophy.

Bench (wide grip, ring fingers on rings):

221x6 @9
221x6 @8
221x6 @8
221x6 @8.5

This was easy, yet awful. Doing more than 3 reps on bench kills my arch. Besides rebuilding the latter after every other rep, the set takes so long and makes my mind wander around.

Board Press (white foam roller)

221x6 @9
221x6 @8
221x3 @9
221x6 @8.5

I cut set #3 short, feeling totally drained. It seems that the extra short break between sets was too much to handle. Set #4 was ok again thanks to somewhat more rest.


SOP:

115x8x3 @8-9 I took it easy on my shoulders, giving some rest. They will be striking back during intensity in 4 weeks.

Back stuff...

Good training, I will see tomorrow how I feel after this.
