I love the voice in my head that tells me to go for a second bench rep after failing to touch on the first.
Good push-pull-tri day -- not great, but good. Worked until I just couldn't anymore.
Flat bench (a few sets at 155 then up to the 1.5 @ 165 then a bunch more at 135), machine dips (sets @ 205, 209, and 215), JM presses (worked up to 95lbs with *strict* form ... felt like my tris were going to jump out of my arms), superset straight and V-bar press-downs, superset very close t-bar, close/medium/wide bent over rows (2 circuits).
Basically, today was similar to last week except that I went for more poundage, less speed, and probably fewer reps on bench (though I didn't count). I was definitely stronger on my dips and tri exercises, which is good. I was really out of gas for my pulls, though ... probably because I put so much into everything before and because I'm feeling yesterday's triplex pulls.
So the big question I'm asking myself is: how big will my PR on chest be next week? I've been *wanting* to hit 185. I'm confident I can hit 175. To be honest, though, I'm less confident about 185. Wish one of y'all was here to shout me into success.
Good lifting to all, today!
