Week 6 Bench Day 3

Close Grip Bench: 3×5@240lbs
Close Grip Lockouts: 3×3@300lbs
Skullcrushers: 3×10@95lbs(i think??)
Dips: 2×6@Pink Bands, 1×4@Monster Mini’s
Skipped: Abs

Good workout today, I really enjoy the close grip work. The CGB sets were just flying up, felt like I was spring loaded at the bottom. Next week we drop back down to 215 on these, because we jump back up to 3×8, and don’t get back to this kind of weight until week 10. The CGL were fairly boring, the weight seems to be pretty low on these but I don’t want to change it just incase it all fits into the cosmic balance or something ;) .
The first couple sets of dips were fine, I started using those pink bands last week and they are a good weight. Jeff Butt showed up and I decided to ask if he had any bands with him and he only had the monster minis. Well I decided to try them and holy crap, after 4 reps I thought I was having a heart attack and my left forearm was going to snap in half. I think I’ll stick with the pink bands, or perhaps remember to bring my belt so I can just strap regular weight to myself.

  • nice workout – cgb and cgl seem heavyweight.

    got to love the feeling when your making the weights fly!

  • Cosmic Balance.. good one. I have doubts at times as well, but you can’t argue with results. ( or I guess we will see next week ;-) )

    It’s stuff like this that makes me work hard on my own bench. Good show!!!You could tell your “Terror Twin” Jamie the same thing:)

  • Stinn:
