Walked/jogged/ran to the Z today.
Bench Press
5x245 @ 9
5x245 @ 9
5x245 @ 9.5
4x245 @ 10
3x245 @ 10
I now know where my sticking point is, since it's happened at exactly the same point for the last few workouts. I stall when my upper arm is slightly above parallel, which is a good 6-8" off of my chest. It looks like I need to do a lot of lockout work.
Pause Dumbbell Bench (3 seconds)
4x90 @ 8
4x90 @ 8
4x90 @ 8
4x90 @ 9
4x90 @ 9
4x90 @ 9
Fast off of the bottom. Slowed at the top for the last few sets.
Cable Row: 4x8@180
Military Press: 8, 8, 6, 5 @ 135
Swapped the order of these exercises because of triceps fatigue. My military presses are feeling better than they were, but I still tire out pretty quickly with a sticking point just above my head (again, not surprising given where my sticking point is for the bench).
Walked/jogged/ran back home.

It looks like you have a tendency to start a workout with multiple sets at RPEs between 9 and 10. This is not really volume. Maybe save some of the hardcoreness to the intensity block.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Nate had the same suggestion. Sounds like a plan. It's just disappointing that I was able to get 5x5@242 without much trouble, but not 5x5@245. That may have been a good day.
