No sir. Last bench workout is tomorrow. Probably going in for an early mornin' session before I spend the entire day working on projects for school.

I'll probably get back in there once I hit 225 bench... which should be next week I'm getting better at budgeting my time with everything so posting a workout 4x a week and staying away from the comp/bb.com for the majority of the time shouldn't be too bad ha

Very, very soon. Give me a few weeks and I'll be repping that bish out.
...Maybe... haha! No. Of course not!




Last bench workout tomorrow morning, then I'm taking a 4-7 upper body days (mainly shoulders/chest/tri's) off to recover to peak out on bench. Getting 225 the first time I attempt, then 235~ maybe the next time. These are mine.

Tomorrow:
120 x 8 reps
150 x 6 reps
170 x 4 reps
180 x 3 reps
190 x 2 reps
180 x AMRAP

Should hit 9+ on my 180 AMRAP ... easy ...

[baco_bacon]

LAST BENCH WORKOUT + BACK

Ran 15 minutes before (going to the gym) at a moderate-fast pace. Yay.

Bench
w/u
115 x 8
150 x 6
170 x 4
185 x 3
180 x 9 AMRAP
--So, I forgot my journal, and wasn't quite sure what was on the menu for today, so I winged it a bit and just guessed I should have done 185 x 3, however I was supposed to hit 180 x 3 and then 190 x 2. What gives.

Pullups -- BW @ 180 Gym Weight
BW x 10 easy
+45 x 4
+35 x 6

Fairly Strict Shrugs
135 x 20
225 x 15
225 x 15 ---> 175 x 15
225 x 15
--Just guesstimating the reps. Huge pump going on.


Notes
Only got five hours of sleep last night + huge fight with my parents didn't get me in the best of moods, but my buddy Richard called me up and we went together. Wasn't really focused nor was I very energized but I definitely pushed through it and got a solid PR for my last bench workout. Time to take a few days off heavy benching/triceps/shoulder work and rest up. Dat dere 225 is fuking mine. I'm probably jus' gonna throw on a 45, 25, and two 10's so the two plates don't intimidate me. Hahaha.

[Foxr32]

or if possible you could have your buddy put on weight without you seeing then you wouldnt know what the weight was?

gl on that 225 i think im gonna go for like 215 or 220 soon

[JackandCoke]

Interesting bench routine, think I might give it a try. The weight that your calculating with, say what would be 100%, stays the same through the 9 weeks?

Maybe... maybe not... I'm maxing out on WEDNESDAY with the football team. Should be a good time.

Get 225. now.

It sure is interesting, and it's pretty fun as well. Yes it does. I set my max to 200 for the entire 9 weeks, although I wish I used my actual max. I never failed any reps even on bad days.

I'll PM you tomorrow about everything if you remind me... I gotta sleep now. Let's just say she's trying to play the whole friend bull**** for a while and who wants that? haha. I'm hanging out with her either tomorrow or Wednesday and I want to get this settled. Just trying to avoid one-itus ATM at all costs (which is near impossible for me) until we get everything unraveled.


I'm 'bout half British or so, maybe a little less haha


Goodnight brahs! Job interview Friday!

[saharaman]

Since this is about bench press, I would like to say that I got 225 for 3 reps 2 days ago.

[Gesou]

[InfiniteExcel]

225?! IN. Fingers crossed.

Smash weights dooood

Everybody check my other log, too lazy to copy and paste

First Attempt MAX Bench
3.12.11

Bench Press
w/u
bar x 8
135 x 7
185 x 4
225 x 1!!!!
205 x 2.5 (short rest)

Notes
Well, ****! That was amazing. This was actually post my first job interview at the YMCA and it sounds like I have a great chance of obtaining this job. There were five people in there - pretty intimidating! Lifted with my three buddies who patiently for my interview to be over.



------------------------------------------------------------------------



Second Attempt MAX Bench
3.15.11


(http://www.bigcat844.com/bench-workout.html)
The nine week program I just completed called for two attempts of maxing out at two different days. I rested about six days before my first attempt of maxing out - hit 225. Then, I took three days off any heavy upper body work and tried again today because my Dad and buddy came with me + I was feeling decently strong.

Anyway, here's how today's benching went.

Bench
w/u
bar x 8
135 x 7
185 x 4
230 x 1!!!

Notes
!!!!! 25 bench PR from this routine!!!!! I began it at 205x1RM / 190x3, and here I am hitting 230 for 1. I literally struggled about 15 solid seconds to lock this muthafukka out. Took soo long... but I'm happy I got it. Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone stuck in a rut. Plus, it's pretty fun. Check it out. Looking forward to repping out 225 soon.

[DDon1996]

1. Good job

2. **** you for not getting videos.

3. Are these paused or TnG?

[Gesou]

Good job, man! hit 4 plates deadlift soon, so you'll start logging again, please? (at least that's what you said would be the turning point for starting logging again )

BTW, epicness in my log, but my sig sums it up

1. Thanks dood

2. I'll get a video once I rep out 225.

3. TnG. Pretty slow negative, but that doesn't mean much.

Haha yes you're right and I still haven't hit it. I almost pulled it with a trap bar but didn't. Once I hit 405x3 with a trap bar and/or 405x1 with a straight bar I'll begin logging again.

Perfect time to start now that I've surpassed two major goals: 315 squat and 225 bench.

Will do!! I actually checked it out yesterday but was so ****ing dumbstuck I didn't comment.



Been lazy so I haven't been posting workouts in this thread very often. Anyway, t'was a good run, this log is now over. peace kyuties
