Spyutastic wants to bench and press - Page 3

Thanks. Yeah a guy I met at the gym recommended it to me a couple months back and I started incorporating it. Took a little getting used to at first. You realize how much your legs add to the lift and also to stabilize the weight.

Secrets for reps three and four being easier than the second rep? Is it the mythical WIM? Either way, impressive set my dude.

Nice press that rep looked like it moved @8/9 speed. Another in the tank you think?

Thanks. Yeah I think so, but it might've been ugly. I tend to be conservative and try not to go to complete failure.

325 went up pretty smooth.
Triceps felt pretty depleted towards the end. The 2nd set of 3 at 290 was my most difficult set of the session.

Wow, 3 days in Vegas with minimal sleep sure did a number on my strength. My first workout since I left and my muscles just feel depleted. I also lost 5 lbs. I'm around 207-210 now.

Bench
1x10 95
1x10 110
1x3 135
1x10 190
1x2 225
1x5 270
1x3 290
1x1 310 this rep was pretty difficult so I knew the next one would be unlikely
1x1 325 fail. Spotter had to help at the bottom.
1x2 275
1x6 245

I cut the workout short. I think I'll do a few medium days to give me some time to build back up.

Plus side is my elbown pain has completely disappeared for the first time in awhile.

Yeah I wasn't eating much. Just playing poker all day and night. Also I don't really drink which probably contributes a lot to weight gain.

Press felt like garbage. Mostly due to left elbow pain.
Strength still feels sub par, probably due to sleep.
