NOTES
Benchpress was solid and strong. A little bit of a grind on the 325 set but nothing too difficult. I think my benchpress is ahead of the program again.... not that i mind that lol.
Press was an unfocused mess. The way 205 felt coming off the rack i should have easily gotten my 3 reps but i stepped down wrong on my left foot and it blew the whole set to hell lol.
Incline bench was good but my son was in the garage with me by then(you see him in the 245x2 vid. So i was more keeping one eye on him the whole time lol. Still no excuses it was still a solid workout.
Rest of the work was nice and fast and killed the shoulders and triceps. I will most likely be ditching the press/flye superset and making them 2 separate exercises. I am sure i am shorting both the exercises by supersetting them.

Time: 70ish minutes
Weight: 221 pounds i love deloads.... too bad most of the weight gain is water(i hate cold weather)

Only watched the 300x3 set; solid benching. It looked as if your elbows weren't directly under the bar, though, so you could have lost some leverage.

[Woody-5]

badass benching apeman! Impressive hitting the 310 & 325 singles after the 300x3 PR!

I like messing with the misc a little. I have been asked twice now how i got such a heavy deadlift if i am a crossfitter.... both time i suggested kipping pullups were the way to go

Thanks Jason, looking forward to deads tomorrow to see what kind of trouble they are going to give me this Wave

[PeterGibbons316]

What are you attempting tomorrow on your deads?

[shaneaunt]

Strong bench pr

[400Lb Gorilla]

What are you attempting tomorrow on your deads?

515x3 and then some heavier singles. 505x3 was easy-ish last time. i did a touch and go on the second rep but it was not as difficult as i thought it would be. hoping the heavy singles will give me an idea of what i should go for in week 3.

Strong bench pr

thanks brah

[jshaw5]

Possibly an attempt at a 6 plate pull?

[E_P_C]

Possibly an attempt at a 6 plate pull?

true enough. the only disadvantage i would really have is it is harder to get 600 than 500

[E_P_C]

what, its still a 30lb improvement when we have both been stuck for awhile
