Really excited to finally get to bench day -- #2 behind squat day. Had a great night's sleep last night after a weekend of not sleeping (Scouting madness camping trip) and was up for a heavy day finally.
Used AtLarge Results and Biotest SWF before and SWF during. APT Convict elbow sleeves and neoprene wrist wraps. Relatively quick warmup (too quick) and to it:
Bench:
180 kg x 5 bastard heavy -- huh?
200 kg x 5 even a dirtier bastid
220 kg x 5 a little easier -- need more warmup that's not a heavy set
on to:
fat bar bench 120 kg x 5 sets of 10 ugly
superset with:
db kroc rows with fat dbs and 100# 5 sets of 10
Cool evening -- beautiful outside. Great tunes on the Shuffle, elbows felt good, shoulders weren't too bad, but still not my best night. First two heavy sets were met with twinges in my left shoulder, which is a bit odd (usually the right that hurts, if either). Didn't hurt in the later sets.
Anyway, everything felt heavy today. Go figure. Maybe lunch wasn't big enough.
Sounds like a great workout! keep it up brother.

Isn't it great how it might not be the best "by the numbers" session but still beats the snot out of not doing it?
