Bench Press Day - Cycle 5

Bench Press Day
Cycle 5


Overall Impression:
weather is awesome today....70-81F. i love this. been carrying a stop watch to the gym off late
The Workout:
Bench Press
- speed-strength work @ 75% of 1RM with 155 lbs x 2 reps x 6 sets
- Incline Close Grip Bench Press = 165 lbs x 4 reps
strength-speed work was alright. rested 60-70 seconds between sets. Incline CGBP was pretty cool. i just wanted to change things. im bored of flat bench pressing.

Pull-ups
- 8 reps + 7 reps + 5 reps = 20 reps
3 sets to failure all with over 3 minute rest intervals.

Skull Crushers and Bent Arm Pull-overs Superset
- 50 lbs x 5 reps x 5 sets and 50 lbs x 5 reps x 5 sets respectively
slow tempo overall. heavy focus on negatives for the bent arm pull-overs. it was a good workout.

Ab Work
skipped...i was lazy (damnit!)
