NICE

Great upper-body workout today. The lower back feels better on the left side, no damage there, but the right is still sore. Next week I’m skipping deadlifts all together, even though I’m supposed to do 2 sets of 5. Maybe I’ll just do 135 x 5 just to practice.

Today:

A) Speed bench press 10 x 3 @ 50% 1RM

B1) Close grip bench press 5 x 5

B2) Chest-supported neutral grip rows 5 x 5

C1) Inverted rows 3 x 10

C2) Scapular push-ups 3 x 15

Ten sets of speed bench takes a long time, but they must be helping. Up to 205 x 5 on close-grip, which is huge for me, I’m still improving on the rows as well.

Excited to max out flat bench next week! 240? 250?….260?! We shall soon see.
