07 Mar Danny Vega – Powerbuilding Week 1 bench

Over the next several months I will be the Guinea pig for some new ideas on training and diet that I will perfect with the help of Tucker Loken and Brian Carroll. This will be the groundwork for an upcoming ebook that we will release in the near future.

My MRI appointment is this Friday. Happy about that. Today we hit bench and chest.

Paused Bench – 45×20, 135×8, 175×5, 205×3, 235×8, 255×8, 265×8, 285×8, 285×7

Incline Bench – 225×10,8,6,6

Incline Cable Flyes – 3×10@30,25,25. Tried some tempo tweaks on specific reps which made this much harder

1.5 rep dips 3×6. At this point I was pretty fried. The way I did these was to go all the way down, come halfway up, come down and come all the way up. That’s one rep. I hope to get better at these.

Stir the pot 3×30 reps
