Pushing


Pushing day, felt like a good one today.

Incline Rack Bench Press - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3..........165, 185, 205, 215, 225

Bench Press - 5x5.....185

4 Rounds, each for time of
15 Dips
20 Pushups
1 minute rest between rounds
Times: 1:01, 2:19, 2:56, 3:11

Cable Flies - 10, 10, 10.......40, 50, 60
V-Bar Pushdowns - 50 (10, 8, 8)

First, that's a pr on the incline rack bench press, 225 (or 2 plates a side) felt awesome to complete.  Last time I did this I went for 5 reps at 205, last time I went a heavy set of 3 I ended at 220 but only got 2 reps, which I intended on doing today but after the set of 215 I said "screw it I'm going for 2 plates a side", literally I said that the gym was empty so no one heard me.  It went up nicely, rep 3 was damn slow but completed, very happy with that.  The bench press went well too, I'd have to check but I don't think I've gotten 185 for 5x5 before.  Part 3 went even better, I am aware that I had recently sprained my wrist, but my times were so much longer then.  1:33, 2:58, 3:43 were my old times, all of those faster today even my 4th round was faster than my third round before and I rested too long by accident last time.  Doesn't mean it didn't hurt, but overall I left the gym with a good feeling for hitting some pr's.
