Bench Press

Training today with my son. Showing him the finer points of the Bench Press. He did quite well for his first time. 38lbs/5 reps 78lbs BW. My bench today was very good.

Warm Up
Shoulder Mobility and Stretching.
Bench Press - 135lbs/12 reps, 135lbs/6 reps (NG), 225lbs/8 reps.

Power Phase
Bench Press - 6 sets/1 rep/335lbs, 1 set/2 reps/335lbs.

Pump Phase
Bench Press (with light bands) - 3 sets/6 reps/335lbs.

Extra Stuff
alternate the following
Dumbbell Hammer Curls - 3 sets/12 reps/35lbs.
Dumbbell OH Extensions - 3 sets/12 reps/35lbs.
Seated Dumbbell Curls - 3 sets/12 reps/35lbs.

Feeling really good right now. The presses all felt very solid and controlled. Next competition is at the end of this month. I'm sure I will be ready for a new PB on the bench.
