Fri 4/15/22 - Bench

Garage Gym
(Bench1Ct)215x1,225x1,235x1,215x4,195x4,4,4
(PlatzSquat)150x8,125x8,8,8
(DBInc)50x8,8,60x8,8,8

60 mins

Started with paused bench for 1@8, 4@9, 3x4 @77-80%. R shoulder a bit wonky warming up, but wasn't inhibiting during the WO. Working up felt good. I rated 225# @RPE 7-7.5 and 235# @RPE 8.5-9. So, 5# heavier than last week, but higher RPE. First back off at 215# was solid, but definitely @9-9.5. Further back offs were good, though I think I need to reduce intensity (weight) on back offs for one of the 2 bench days to probably 70-75% instead of 77-80%.

 Next was superset of Platz squats and DB Incline. Last time I did platz squats I worked up in weight (115, 125, 135 x2 sets).  Today I wanted to go heavier, and THEN back off. So I warmed up and then jumped into my top set @150# rated @PRE8, then backed off for 3 sets @125#. I liked this better than working up the other way. I kept DB incline fairly conservative because last week I went a little heavier and it bothered my R shoulder quite a bit. So I got 5 sets of 8 reps in the 6-8 range. Solid WO.

Nutrition/Weight:
