Meet Training Week 6 - Pressing

Bodyweight - 255

Incline Press -
barx40,25
135x15
185x5
225x4
275x3
315x2

365x3
315x6,6,6,6

Db Bench Press -

110's x 8
150's x 7

Flex Machine Rows - 6 sets of 8 with the stack.

Notes - Well, I was supposed to press last night, however after 1 straight hour of the backdoor trots and a heavy 365 single, I thought it might be best to rest another day.

Good thing I listened instead of being an idiot.  Had a great session tonight.  Again, more base building, volume, and keep it light paying off.  The 365 triple was so easy I thought the bar was misloaded.  The 315 for 4 sets of 6 was fast and easy every single set.

Feeling very good right now, AND I'm in week 6 which means I beat Pegg's prediction that I'd only make it three weeks before getting injured.  I fully expect to blow some shit out tomorrow night on squats, thus jinxing myself.

  1. Solid work here!!

    I have noticed that on my incline DB press the first rep seems much tougher than the subsequent ones.

    Is this due to the fact that I start the first rep from a dead stop and need to "break" the momentum?

    Would appreciate your thoughts.

    1. Correct. You don't have the full benefit of the myotatic reflex yet.
