JC (08/15)- Bench and Tris

Went on weeklong cruise- fun times, not enough lifting though.

Lifted with benching buddy (yes Frank, the guy that got to 315 from doing less than 225 in about 4 months)

Bench-

235x12- Better than 2 weeks before when I repped out 225x10

245x10- This was a surprise, didn't expect I could do 10 reps after tiring myself out on previous set.

265x5-

Weighted dips-

x10

1 plate x 10

2 plate x 2- Dead by this point

1 plate x 6 (I think, forgot to bring notebook with me to keep track)

1 plate x 2

Skull crushers-

50x10

50x8

50x6

Triceps pretty fried by this point.

Tricep extensions with straight bar-

60x15

70x15

80x15

80x15

My focus on developing a stronger bench (apart from benching obviously) is to really target and isolate my triceps to make them bigger and stronger. This is something I have deviated from in the past, among other things like not sticking to my training....

Looking forward to squatting and deadlifting.
