Pushing

Adrian Bozman

Pushing day, more strength focussed this day.

Military Press - 135 (4, 4, 4, 4, 3)

DB Piston Bench Press - 5, 5, 5, 5, 5..........60s, 65s, 70s, 75s, 80s

Decline Bench Press - 185(5), 205(5), 225(3, 3), 185(6)

Pushups - 3xmax reps.........34, 18, 17

Drop Sets
Pushdowns - 120 to 60........8-10, 6-7
Machine Flies - 100-50..........6-6, 4-5

Felt weaker on the first part, the military presses, but overall it wasn't too bad to get a total of 19 reps with 135, next time I will shoot for 20.  I am very pleased the piston presses, it's the first time I have been allowed to use dumbbells for bench press again, my wrist felt it ever so slightly bringing them into position but was pain free during, pleased I was able to do that exercise with the 80s too.  Decline went well too, I was nervous on the second set of 225, this workout was done early in the morning and there was no one to spot me, if I got pinned I'd be in trouble, the 3 reps went ok though, had I had the option of a spot my last set would have been at 225 also not 185.  Overall very good workout.

  1. Are the piston presses a chest exercise - like a bench press - or a shoulder routine - like military or push presses?

  2. I left out a word, meant to say DB piston bench press, but it looks like this, cept not a swiss ball on a regular bench.
