Bench Press

Training in the garage last night. It was a little chilly, +9 degC, but I dressed up and it was more than fine. I decided to try heavier weights tonight and change my training back to a Hepburn style program. Power Phase of heavy shingles followed by a Pump Phase of a more volume base.

Light Stretches and Shoulder Mobility.

Bench Press
W/U - 2 sets/12 reps/135lbs, 225lbs/12 reps, 275lbs/1 rep, 295lbs/2 reps, 315lbs/1 rep.

Power Phase - 3 sets/1 rep/330lbs.

Pump Phase - 5 sets/6 reps/225lbs.

Support Work
Dumbbell Curl and OH Press - 5 sets/8 reps/35lbs.

Seems like a good place to start. Next Bench work out I will do 4 Power Phase sets and adjust the Pump Phase. 6 reps should be max. I'll go up to 235lbs and go 5 sets of 5. Or something like that.
