Pushing

Jason Khalipa on a 295 overhead squat
Pressing day, a good one today, more strength/performance focussed.

Rack Bench Press - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3........205, 225, 245, 265(2), 275(1)

Incline Bench Press - 135 (7, 6, 6, 5, 5)

Single Arm DB Military Press - 5, 5, 5, 5........45, 50, 52, 55

Pushups - 3xmax reps........32, 19, 16

Overhead Rope Extension.......80(8, 10, 8)
Machine Fly - 3x8......90

That's a PR on the rack bench press, I'm aware I didn't follow the rep set scheme I laid out as I should have stopped at 265, but last time I tried 275 the bar hovered abov the safeties for 2 seconds then came back, this time the bar went up nice and smoothly, the second rep didn't happen though.  That exercise has come along nicely.  The next 2 were heavy, and my wrist held up fine as well.  The pushups were a last minute decision, I made sure I kept perfect form, man do those numbers ever drop.  Good workout!

  1. Ok, you're taking the piss with your bench presses! You maxed at nearly double the weight I got to today: http://59percentoverweight.blogspot.com/2011/05/pushing_16.html
