DE/Close Grip Bench

Speed Bench: 9×3@225lbs
Close Grip: 3×5@275lbs
Dips: 3×8@bw
Pull Aparts: 1×15, 1×20, 1×15 all with monster minis
Cable L-Flyes: 15@15lbs, 2×15@20lbs

My bench is still feeling stronger and stronger. These last three weeks of no shirt work have made a HUGE difference in my feeling on the bench. Speed sets went well with good speed all the way through. We decided to go straight weight this week just for a change.
Close grip bench was good and I was able to squeeze off all my reps even though I went 5lbs heavier than I had planned(I was working on the same bench as Jeff and it was just easier to put 275 on for my sets). The third set was definately hard but I probably had another 5lbs in me.
I felt really strong on the dips, pumping off 8 reps like nothing on every set, I really need to start weighting these. Pull aparts were good, the 20 rep set caused some massive burning. The last set I choked up on the bands more and still pulled off 15. Some light rotator work finished off the day.

    Stinn, the more I see your progress with this program the more I’m leaning towards trying it. How’s Jamie doing with it?

  • Awesome workout stinn. Can’t wait to see what your lifts end up being at the contest!

  • Stinn:

    I’m no longer on Jeff’s program, I’m on my own 8 week premeet thing I came up with. It’s mostly a WSB routine for squats/deads and whatever I want for bench kind of.
    Me neither Chris.
