Thursday – scheduled day off.
Friday2/20 – Today was the final day for “Big Chest & Back.” I felt good and it came through on my lifts. Once again all sets were paired (one chest/one back) we were on 2 minute rest cycle.
Warm up – 135x8, 185x5, 205x3
Flat bench - 240x5, 245x3, 245x5, 250x3, 245x5 (failed at 4)
Close grip pull down - 185x5, 190x3, 190x5, 195x3, 195x3
Finished with a 275 BP 1RM test, need some assistance at the low sticking point but finished – call it a fail since his hands gripped the bar rather than guided the lift.
Incline bench press – 165x7, 170x5, 175x3, 175x5, 180x3
Unilateral dumbbell row – 70x7, 75x5, 80x3, 75x7, 90x3
Next week we will start a higher rep lower weight cycle to build
endurance. I calculate that to hit my goal of a 225 BP working set I need to get my 1RM close to 300.
