Progress on Bench

Did some bench, incline fly's and some weighted dips last night.  For once in my life I'm actually getting stronger on Bench.  It's fantastic.  I didn't up the weight, but I added an additional set at 185.  Here are my sets.

11/3/11
Bench Press - 4 sets
95x8 (warmup)
135x5 (warmup)
185x4
185x3.5 (needed a tiny spot to finish the 4th rep)
175x4
165x5

Incline Fly's - 4 sets
60s x 5
60s x 5
60s x 4
55s x 5

Weighted Dips - 3 sets
45lbs x 6
45lbs x 9
45lbs x 9
bodyweight x 15

I'm happy.  I'm making progress with bench, which has been a serious problem for me in the past.  On incline fly's I actually tried 65's, but I just couldn't get them up on the first rep.  My chest was fucking annihilated.

And, as I mentioned the other day, the weight belt is back.  My weighted dips actually dropped a bit because I haven't done them in a few weeks.  I expect them to come back quickly.

I plan on doing incline bench next time.  I don't know if this will replace flat bench, or if it will be in addition to it.  We'll see.

Cleans are on the menu for Saturday.  Be afraid.  Be very afraid!  I know I am lol.

Oh and I started typing up a whole article on sleep earlier this week.  It was after I had a particularly shitty nights sleep and was feeling the effects of...well... a shitty nights sleep.  I'll have it up next week some time, complete with pictures of people sleeping!

Take it deep.
