My body felt fine, but mentally I wasn't all together today. Still, given that and the fact that I haven't focused much on bench this cycle, I'm pretty satisfied with the results. So...
Bench Press
1x275
1x295 (PR + 5)
Fx300
The 295 was a clear 10 on the RPE scale. 300 wasn't even close.
Pause Dumbbell Bench (~2 seconds)
3x110 @ 9
3x110 @ 9
3x110 @ 10
Cable Row: 4x8@190
So I decided to try maxing out my military press also, for no particular reason. As I said, I wasn't completely there mentally. So, again...
Military Press
1x160
1x185
Fx195
185 was pretty easy. 195 wasn't even close.
Not a bad result. Now, I just need to make sure I don't bomb Saturday's deadlift session. I'll probably go for 495, 525, 535/545 (stretch goal).

Nice job on the bench PR man. I wanna see you pull another PR for the deadlift haha.
ReplyDeleteI suggest not to go heavy on deadlifts. Maybe work up to 315 and that's it. Too many weak football players at MIT will be destroyed otherwise.
ReplyDelete@JC: Thanks! I'm hoping for a big PR (especially with a belt now), but I don't want to psych myself out.
ReplyDelete@Danny: Hah! =)
