[Zander1983]

Wednesday 18 June: Bench Press 1RM

Bench Press
132 x 3 x 2 sets
176 x 3 x 2 sets
220 x 1
242 x 1
264 x 1
286 x 1 PR!!

Rows
176 x 5 x 3 sets

Barbell Curls
88 x 5 x 3 sets

22lb PR on my Bench Press. It was a very ugly lift. Wobbly and uneven (although that exaggerated by the camera angle which is not straight-on). Nevertheless, a PR is a PR. Of the four lifts I'm testing this was the one I had the least expectations for.

I'm quite stoked

A big LOL to me doing barbell curls for like the 2nd time ever They were a piece of piss.

Hammer - I made a point of looking forward and up with the rows. The weight is still easy, but I felt that it hit my lats more and my lower back felt safer. Different, but in a good way

All you gotta do now is hit the deads bro, shit isn't over till bar hits the floor

My new plates still haven't arrived at the store... I hope they do by Saturday, otherwise the deads will be post-poned.

The past month has seen my OHP and Bench Press both go up 22 lbs and my squat by 66 lbs (squat from an estimated starting point).
