Thought I'd give going heavy a whirl this week on the flat bench...boy could I tell that I haven't been doing a lot of flat work. It's ok though..my log press has gotten a lot stronger from it.

Flat Bench
several warm ups
225 x 5
275 x 1
315 x 1
365 x 1
405 x 1-1 (missed the 2nd one)

3 Board Press (close grip)
315 x 3
337 x 3
359 x 1

Incline Bench
315 x 2 (paused at bottom position on racks...totally relaxed)
225 x 5 (close grip and full pause and relax at bottom)

Dbell Rows (2" thick dbell)
80's x 12 x 2 sets

Plate Raises
35's x 12 x 2 sets

St Dbell Curls
55's x 10

That was it for today. Running late for work. I am gonna try to attach a link to a coupld of mpegs of me doing 365 and 405 on the flat bench. Hope they work.

405 Flat Bench:

Didn't have my shoulders tucked hard enough and didn't have my elbows tucked in as much as I should have. Must focus on exploding off my chest...took it down too slow too...timing and technique was off today.

Night Fly was recording and didn't see that I had my safety pins set to catch me if I dropped the weight. When I stalled on my 2nd rep and let it fall...she stopped recording and was on the way to my rescue.

Hope these work

Relaxing with a 225 incline close grip bench. Had to really relax to let it rest on the safety pins...

Plate raises with the 35...

Bfold - the mpegs were too dark to make anything out... don't know if there's anything I should tweak from my end.

but killer workout anyway

nice job, nice bench too. videos were a bit dark but i could make them out.. your timing was a bit off on the 2nd rep of 405... happens to me all the time.. once i work up to 180 or more with a pause, my leg drive just fails, and i concentrate on the weight too much

Yeah, that looks pretty relaxing allright!

You can try to lighten your screen. My camera doesn't take good mpegs when it is not super bright...and my garage is like a dungeon.

Thanks for the compliments...I think we should have a thread where people can post their workouts on here.
