All Chest PRs

Yesterday I walked 18 yesterday and mowed B’s lawn in the evening.

Warm-up

  • 20 PVC Passes
  • 10 PVC Shrugs
  • Bench Press
    • 10×45
    • 8×95
    • 6×135
    • 4×160

Chest

MAX Bench Press (180/85#)

I was able to do 23 today to beat the 18 reps from the early Friday session.

100 Push-ups

All threes wasn’t great for me last week so I planned to go back to all fives with limited rests. I was struggling as I got to 70 so I changed to threes the rest of the way. It ended up being 14×5 and 10×3 to finish in 3:21, which is an 18 second PR and 1:27 better than week one! Brandi hit a huge PR by 1:04 by doing threes, which is over two minutes better than week one.

Bench Press

  • 3 Sets @ 3 Weights
  • MAX Reps
  • 3:00 Rest between sets

I figured increasing 20 pounds on each weight, compared to week one would be a good test. I got 16-14-12 with 175#, 20-17-17 with 145#, and 24-22-23 with 120#. That comes out to 2,980 more total pounds than week one with 155-125-100!

6 Sets

  • 12 Triceps Pushdowns (bar, 60#)
  • 1:00 Rest

Went up six pounds over what I used in week two.
