Fri 5/14/21 - Full Body (Bench)

 Garage Gym

(Bench)125x8,155x5,170x8,175x8,185x8,175x8,8

(BandSquat)10x10,25x10,35x10,45x10,10

(LowDBInc)70x13,60x12,8,8

(Pushups)2x12

(Crunch)2x15

70 mins

Started with bench for 8 reps @RPE 7,8,9 -5% 1-3x8. Top set was estimated at 181, but my 2nd set at 175 felt fairly easy so I bumped to 185 instead of 180. This was 5# up from last week and then my back offs were also 5# heavier than last week. Happy with this pressing. My knees were super tight after squats on Wednesday and front squat rack position might be contributing to my collar bone pain, so I did band squats. I attach a band to the rack, stand inside and did squats focusing on the quads. I held plates in front of me and progressed up to a 45# plate. I liked these, though I think I need to go heavier. Perhaps hold a DB instead of plates. Could feel these very much in my quads. Then we did low incline. I'd gotten 13 reps with 70# the last 2 weeks and I really wanted to beat that. I almost had the 14th reps but the left one started to fail and I dropped them both. Sarah tried to help, but nothing she was strong enough to do. My first back off was very good, especially considering the failed rep on prior set. Then the last 2 sets I could only manage 8 reps, and I needed an assit on the last one.  We finished up with some feet-up pushups and crunches. Good WO.

Nutrition/Weight:

181.8 this morning.
