Bench press paused 1 inch from chest

Curl
Bar x 60
Band triceps push down
20,15
Messed up last week and did the wrong weight. My spreadsheet didn't update press for my new max I out in for some reason. Should've been 115 lbs but I did 100
Ive still been working out but kind of doing whatever. I signed up for coaching with Mike Tushcherer last week but he said he wont have my program written till 4/14 so i havent really had a plan
4/9
Bench
8x5x190
Chins
8x3xbw
Dips
5x25lb. Hurt my hand playing hockey so this hurt too bad to continue
Just got my programming from Mike T. Gonna do RTS training tile July 17th for my next week so thats like 12 weeks.
Week1 day1
Squat
275x4 @7
315x4 @8
335x4 @9
It looks like hes gonna have me lift without a belt for most weeks so this is why the weight was so low. I probably get like 30 or 40lbs out of my belt for squats it seems
RPE is rate of perceived exertion. The @ number is how hard you think a set is based off of a 10 point scale with 10 being the hardest and 1 being the easiest. Here is a flow chart that shows the concept better than what I can explain
Squats against avg band
225x4 @7
255x4 @8
275x4 @9
Havent really ever squatted against bands. This felt pretty good
Bench against doubled minis.
175x8 @8.5
190x8 @10
My rack wouldn't let me double up the minis and I dont have two sets of minis either so I had to improvise with bands that were a little bigger then the minis i think. Mine arent color coded so its hard to tell what is what
Push press
165x8 @8.5
175x8 @10 Oops. Was supposed to go to @9 here but didnt realize how hard this would be. I dont really push press ever and i can strict press 165x8 so I thought this would be easier
CG Bench x6 @9 4-6% load drop
205x6 @7
225x6 @8
240x6 @9
225x6 @8
225x6 @8.5
225x6 @9
This felt really good today. Strongest my bench has felt in a long time
lever row x6 @9 with 4-6% load drop
105x6 @8
115x6 @9
110x6 @9
