felt easy and got the bench over in 15-20 mins.

That's crazy. What was the rest between sets? About 90 seconds?

Impressive.

Bench and rows this afternoon.

10/04/12 - Bench 7x5

Bench
40kg x 9
60kg x 3

80kg x 5 x 7

DB Rows
43kg x 10 x 5

Reverse Curls

Another fast, easy bench session. All rests were short and by the end of the rows I dropped the dumbbell and led on the floor. Lower back is still quite fatigued, will hopefully be recovered for deadlifts on Thursday.

All good. How much longer you running this format?

Running the volume for another 3 weeks, starting on what was the second week weights and finishing 5kg heavier in the last week. Pretty sure I won't be firing through the sets quite as much by then but my bench is on the move.


Right shoulder is a little tight, knots all around upper back and lat, they just won't bloody budge. No real problems just irritating.

Curious to see how your 1RM has changed during this time.

Really liking the program so far J, everything is looking strong and easy.

Also for your shoulder I found that the diesel crew shoulder rehab really helps. I don't do the full thing but I took some of the exerices and work with them a little in between sets. Shoulder still hurts most of the time but it seems to help a lot.

Snap, it's done a lot for benching confidence so far.

Cheers mab. Ye I need to get back on top of prehab stuff especially with the bench volume. There's no pain in mine anymore it just tightens up and needs some good rolling.

Lower back still fatigued, left side twinges a little, will play tomorrow by ear.
