Last night, I did a bench shirt workout. It was a little early in the week (my last shirt workout was last Weds.), but I had to take advantage of having my husband there with me and just get in the shirt and get it done. I am going out of town later this week.
BENCH
warmup - bar x 15, 95 x 12, 135 x 5
Shirt on --- Air turns on all the reps. I got real close to touching on a couple of the last sets, but still an inch or two away.
205 x 2
225 x 2
235 x 1
245 x 1
245 x 1
225 x 2
Both attempts at 245 were rough. I struggled with the weight, so much on the first attempt that my entire lower back cramped up. Neither was really good. The last set - 225 x 2 - was really good, and both reps were close to touching.
RAW BOARD PRESSES - 3 BOARD
225 x 3/3 sets
These were fun. 225 pounds feels alot different when you take the shirt off. I was a little squirrelly on the first set because I wasn't used to the weight, but the third set was really solid. All in all, I'm getting alot more comfortable with 225 pounds.
45 minutes on the bike yesterday morning as well.
50 minutes of cardio this morning. I am motivated to get outside and do some sprints and plyo work today, but I plan on deadlifting tomorrow, so I don't think that's gonna work. I may do a long, much needed ab workout tonight instead.
