25 AUG 11 -- Benching and a Sore Paw

Bench training max is 345 lbs and it's 5/3/1 today.

Warm up sets

45 x 25
140 x 5
175 x 5
210 x 3

Working sets

260 x 5
295 x 3
330 x 5

The sets were all good, but my left hand was killing me. When I did the dead lifts the other day, I think the pressure from the weight of the bar did something. My palm underneath the pinky finger mount is swollen and sore. The first few sets today were difficult due to the pain.

I decided on some incline benching today. I haven't done this in quite a long while.

Incline barbell bench press 155 x 10, 165 x 10, 175 x 10, 185 x 10, 195 x 10 (I had to see where I was with this one, so the weight was ascending).

I supersetted dips with chin ups:

Dips bodyweight x 20/chin ups bodyweight x 10
Dips 25 lbs x 10/chin ups BW x 5
Dips 35 x 6/chin ups BW x 5
Dips 45 x 4

I was planning on doing some dumbbell rows, but I ran out of time and had to get back to the homestead. It was a good workout regardless.
