If you're wondering why I am only posting today, it's because I was on vacation in northern Ontario with my wife. We just got back yesterday from a nice little trip of canoeing and hiking in Algonquin Park. It was beautiful, the leaves on the maple trees were blazing red, and there's nothing like all that fresh autumn air to revive one's soul. The kids were babysat by my parents. Time away as a couple is good for the marriage.
Today, I hit the bench for a 3 x 5 session, using the new training max of 355 lbs.
Warm up sets
45 x 25
140 x 5
180 x 5
215 x 3
Working sets
230 x 5
265 x 5
300 x 7
I was planning on just staying with the requisite 5 reps, as per Wendler's advice, but I couldn't help myself adding an extra two reps, just for the hell of it.
Assistance work:
Close-grip bench press in strip fashion
230 x 2 x 10
225 x 8 (I lost steam, lol)
215 x 10
210 x 10
One arm dumbbell row with 120 lbs for 3 x 10 each side.
Cable row 150 lbs for 3 x 15
That was a wrap, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow's squat session. Thanks for tuning in and see you tomorrow!
