Great benching J.

Thanks Kuyt, program is rolling along nicely. It seems no matter how big a t-shirt I wear, the belly still makes an appearance. I think we should all agree that it's a consequence of proper bench technique.

Much much better. Nice squats also.

Thanks markievicz, seems to be a lot more consistent now.


Had some sore traps this morning but apart from that I'm ready to bench again, roll on tomorrow morn with some heavy ass rows, can't get enough of the upper back work right now.

27/03/12 - Bench 7x5

Bench
40kg x 6
55kg x 6
70kg x 5

85kg x 5 x 7

DB Rows
39kg x 10 x 5

Bench was a little slower today but it's to be expected with fatigue and it being 10kg heavier than 2 weeks ago. Still nowhere near failure but certainly draining. Rows pretty hard still going strong.

Cheers LtL, looking forward to getting passed all the volume and pressing some heavy sh*t!

Set one on this video shows what I mean when I say to "push your belly up to the bar" as it descends:

Give you credit for hanging tough with this.

That's some great benching still. Fatigue is inevitable when you're benching 4 x week and not used to it. A big PR will be your reward.
