Kik - 11/19/2009 - Intensity - Bench

Last day of intensity, this time it is uppar body again.

Bench (regular)
225x1 @7
225x1 @7
255x1 @8
275x1 @8
295x1 @10
315 FAIL

315 was far from possible. Too heavy, even for touch and go. Also, 295 felt heavy because I lost the groove, yet I still managed to press them up. I know that Brian would have tried 4 or 5 more attempts with 315, but could feel in my forearms that 315 took their toll. Hence, I called it quits and moved on to get a PR in closegrip presses.

Closegrip Bench (gray foam)
275x1 @8
