Bench PR - Kind of

Left work a little late last night, and when I got home dinner was already done and on the table..  It's tough to choose to go to the gym and eat a reheated dinner rather than eating it hot, straight out of the oven.  Needless to say, I rushed things at the gym.

10/25/11

Bench - 5 sets

95x8 (warmup)

135x5 (warmup)

185x3 - PR

175x5

175x4

165x6

165x5

Incline Flyceps - 3 sets

Tried 65's, couldn't get them up.  I think I just wasn't rested enough.

60's x 5

55's x 7

55's x 7

Dips 1 set of 20 reps

20 x 1 

When I look at the total workout, it looks kind of weak.  But I did hit 185 x 3, which I'm happy about.  Next time I do flat bench I'll go for 185x4 or 5.  I also might cut out the fly's and put overhead presses in its place.

Also, 185 isn't really a PR for me.  I hit 185 around December last year, but I also weighed like 15lbs more than I do now.  I'm about 155 right now, back then I weighed 165-170.  Last year I did that whole "lose weight before the summer!" bullshit, and lost a shitload of muscle, and have been struggling to get it back all summer and fall.
