Training - Close Grips with landmark PR

Bodyweight - 260

Close Grip Bench -
barx20,20,20
135x10
225x5
275x4
315x3
365x2
405x1

455x1 PR
405x3

Hammer Shrugs - 500x40,25

Machine Curls - 180x3x10
Rope Pushdowns - 65x3x25

Notes - OMG FINALLY.  I have been after 455 for so long.  What's strange is, it still was not a great night.  In fact, 315x3 felt so bad I almost walked the fuck out, but I continued on.  365 was fast and then 405 was faster, so I went ahead and went for it.  I think on a night where I feel good 470 is there.  So I'm slowly inching closer to 500.  That feels pretty good.

  1. Were those chains the secret to getting your 455 bench, hahaha?

  2. Great going, Paul. This Zenith program really is doing wonders for your PRs. If you don't release it soon, I'm going to have no skin left because of all the itching.
