Notes - elbow was feeling just fine all night until the down set with 275. 3 reps in and excruciating pain. Even though the 365 was super fast and easy I think I'm going to just keep it at 245-275 for high reps the next month or so and incline heavy. This should work just fine, and I have to remind myself that my training is serving a different purpose right now. For so long I've been in "1 rep max" mode that I'm having a little trouble breaking out of it.
So look for some high reps with light-medium weight on the close grips from here on out. 275x25 would be nice.
Update - So I get home and I'm pissed about the down set so I go into the basement, wrap the elbows up nice and snug and hit a quick close grip of 225x22. My goal for close grips over the next few months will be 225x40 and 275x25. I'm pretty sure fresh I'm good for 225x28-30 and 275x18ish.
22-25/40reps? these straight rep sets paul not RP? they're some high reps fella - especially with those weights!

Straight sets. I am good for 225x20+ fresh on incline so bench should be close to 30 right now fresh. 275 is probably 18 now fresh. So I figure adding 7 reps in the next many months could be doable for the 275.
ReplyDeleteHi Paul,
ReplyDeleteI have just seen your post on P&B on the 'First Meet Training Cycle' thread (I can't post over there as never had my account activated).
Would you set it up like this:
M: Bench, Rows

F: CGBP/Inc Press, Chins
Thanks
Dan
