Exercise Log 12.28.14 (Bench Press & Deadlift Day)

Bench Press & Deadlift Day, cycle 6. I felt like i had low energy going into this workout which sucks.

Bench Press: 1) 5 @ 155lbs. 2) 3 @ 165lbs. 3) 2 @ 170lbs. Strength of singles to total failure, this was rough. First rep was good, second rep was a fail but felt it was more execution than energy. Third rep was going up slow, so slow that a person gave me an unwanted spot which makes me count it as a failure although I totally had it and asked not to be assisted. Fourth rep was good because I diverted my anger of the previous rep failing when I had it towards energy for the fourth rep. Fifth attempt was a failure, but felt I still had one more, and sixth was a success and felt good. Total was 3 (should’ve been 4) successful reps. Finally, after I think 4 1/2 months, I’m adding to my bench press training max, only +5 lbs but that’s good. I’m still adding drop sets to all my bench press work next mesocycle.

Deadlift: 1) 3 @ 300lbs. 2) 3 @ 310lbs. 3) 3 @ 315lbs. The last set was awful, was borderline not countable due to just grinding it out and bad form, but going to keep it on the books as being done.

Incline Dumbbell Presses: 4 sets of 6 reps @ 55lbs (pair). I was totally exhausted after this having poured so much energy into my primary and secondary lifts.

T-Bar Press: 3 sets of 10 reps @ 75lbs. After this I was totally done, time to hit the showers. Good workout.
