Military Press Day - Cycle 12

Military Press Day
Cycle 12


Overall Impression:
my weight has been a steady 172 lbs over the last 5 days. im happy

on a new note: APT finally sent me some awesome gear. wrist wraps - 24" wrist wraps...one was a red blood line and the other pair is a convict i think..not sure...i also got tons of chalk with that so bye bye grip problems on deadlifts
The Workout:
Standing Barbell Military Press
- bar x 4 reps x 3 sets
- 95 lbs x 3 reps
- 115 lbs x 2 reps
- 120 lbs x 1 rep
- 140 lbs x 2 reps x 5 sets
- 125 lbs x 7 reps
I dunno why but this felt really heavy to me today. the warm-ups felt like as if the bar was too slow, my sets with 140 were all slow as hell though ROM and form was top notch....it was just slow...weird.

Barbell Rows
- 135 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
- 95 lbs x 10 reps x 3 sets
I dont like barbell rows at all..they feel unnatural as hell. im gonna go back to doing dumbbell rows but im gonna do those rows on an incline bench. i wonder if i could do a chest supported row...i wish my gym was equipped with that.

Low Incline Dumbbell Bench Press
- 60 lbs x 12 reps
- 65 lbs x 6 reps
- 75 lbs x 3 reps
- 45 lbs x 10 reps
this was mighty difficult....i was tired by the time i hit these and i really wasnt in the mood...im gonna play around with these and the row work for some time...

Facepulls
- 70 lbs x 8 reps x 2 sets

Ab Work
- Overhead Plate Side Bends = 10 lbs x 8 reps x 1 set
boring...
