Bench 12's

Yesterday I thought squats for 12's were hard. Holy crap I'm spent. Here's the damage.

w/u - 10 minutes treadmill (2 minutes jogging).

*super set with minimal rest*
Bench Press - 3 sets/12 reps/185lbs.
Dips - 3 sets/12 reps/90lbs assistance.
Flat Bench Flys - 3 sets/12 reps/50lbs dumbbells.
Over Head Dumbbell Tricep Extensions - 3 sets/12 reps/60lbs dumbbell.

Machine Crunches - 4 sets/12 reps/80, 100, 120, 140lbs.

I think I found some weaknesses. Ryan Fowler mentioned to me at the meet that I sould try a training phase doing 15 reps. This is my inspiration for training 12's. Like I said I'll keep his up for a while and gradually increase sets/reps. By the way, I can barely control my arms and hands. I think I found a weakness.
