I bet I could have gotten 5 reps on the final set at 215, however I was alone and didn't have the safeties in place.  The timed portion was done before broken in 8 rounds, this time done straight which is harder, felt good though.

Face Pull - 3x10.....65

Bench Presses felt strong, usually 225 for 3 reps on pause is a struggle for one set, let alone two, so I was please.  The timed portion I changed the weight part way through, 35 was too light so I added a 10 and kept going, that was better, all sets unbroken.  Good workout!

Upper Body


Decided to slightly change my program, the last one was responsible for some of the best strength gains of my life, but it did start to plateau.  This one has a bit of a density focus, and is harder to program, but I'll do my best and try not to over train.

Bench Press
warmup
135x5
135x3
work sets
185x5
205x5
225x4

8 Rounds for time
2 Bench Press - 205
5 Chinups
Time: 9:17

Sngle Cable Row
47.5x8
52.5x8
57.5x8

Pallof Press with bar - 3x8....27.5

Band Pull Apart - 3x12......black

The bench presses felt great today, 225 for 4 good reps when Saturday I barely got 3.  The timed part was all about the bench press, 205 got heavy quick, but that's part of the density training.  The rest went well, these kind of workouts, when performed properly, are satisfying.

I felt it, but not horribly, it's more annoying than anything else, but I should keep an eye on it.  That second rep on 235 was one of the slowest reps I have ever done on that movement, a true grinder.

Conditioning


Conditioning with Ryan again.

3 Rounds
15 Deadlifts - 135
10 Box Jumps - 37 inches
15 KB Swings

3 Rounds
8 Double KB Power Cleans - 50s
15 Rope Slams
10 Kipping Chinups

Pallof Press
22.5x6
27.5x6
27.5x6

Prowler Half Sprints
180x1
180x1
Then 4 sets with 135+Ryan (215) = 350

That was quite the workout, the pallof press was mostly to lower the heart rate a bit before it went right back up.  Rope slams are a killer of a movement.
