25 Oct Brian Carroll | Benching in the rain | Plus week 2 in SDP |
Thanks to CaptainJacked.com and Inzernet.com for supporting my lifting career!
Now that I have a few Saturday’s at home, I’m going to run a 3-week mini-cycle until I go out of town for Exos in PHX, early November. You can still register for the event at EXOS to see me and other great speakers!
Week 2, day 2 – bench training
Last week was triples, so this week we did doubles. Check out how it went:
Normal warm-up, no matter what…..
Floor press:
Top set of 370×2
Right as we all hit 315, the rain started to really come down. Not the brightest idea, but I had one more set to go. You can see in the video it wasn’t just sprinkling.
SDP Shirt work:
400×3 – 4bd
500×3 – 3bd
550×3 – 3bd
620×3 – 2/3bd
It was good to be back in the shirt as this week felt so much better than last! It has been 7mo+ since setting up on the bench press regardless of shirt or not, after all.
Incline DB press:
4×10
Grenade skulls:
4×10
Cable triceps press-down:
4×10
Hammer curl:
4×10
Planks and variations:
a couple rounds
Each week things feel quite better. I really wish I wasn’t going to miss week 4, but such is life. I’m making the most of the time I have.
I’m really doing something I haven’t done in some time. I’m starting over on every lift and rebuilding the foundation. Especially with the bench press and my R shoulder and pec (which is BARELY hanging on by a thread-like-Piano-wire).
This has been a blow to the ego, but after taking so many months off, it was time to start re-tooling a few things. A fresh reboot!
So far, so good!
