Typically on bench day there is:

- Secondary pressing for reps
- Possibly a third movement for higher reps
- Upper back
- Triceps isolation
- Shoulder press

So this week I'm doing:

Floor press with chains to a max
Regular bench raw 2 x 15 @60-70%
Lat Pulldown 3 x 15
Band pressdown 4 x 25
DB Shrugs 3 x 15
Military Press 3 x 12

The accessory day is meant to have a moderately heavy overhead press as well but I am doing that in the work gym where the dumbells stop at 25kgs so I will probably do some OHP at the end of my weekend squat session.

Solid routine. OHP at the end will be rough! Way to challenge yourself

That's the idea big man: mental and physical strength will be built. Thanks for looking in.

Well that was pretty much as hard as I thought it would be. Form needs to be more consistent over the course of the set. Some reps I kept the bar nice and close and some I let it get a bit forward on me. I can get away with it at this weight but as the weeks go on and the weights go up, I won't be able to.

To then do more pulls afterwards was hard. Weight felt light but I had to concentrate really hard on getting tight to make it easy. Great combination.

Ghetto safety bar and super deep squats kicked my a$$ but I sacked up and used the proper weight for the last two sets. More GHRs and abs to finish. All done in around 90 minutes and a horrendous hamstring pump. Good times. I love the deadlift volume on this. It beats me up badly but I feel like I am working to improve my pull which is good.

Those deficits were alot of hard work Al! Well done. I know that between Fazc & Co. you will progress on that form. Rock solid assistance work
