2 days of Heavy this week !

I usually do a "Dynamic" day
and
a Max effort day in the week, when training for the Bench Press...

this week saw me changing that to 2 heavy workouts at Target on Broadway....

Wednesday I grabbed a bench, put it in the squat rack, set the pins at chest height, and did the 'lockout' pin press routine--

225X5
315X3
365X2
385
385
385
--then--
315X 5

that was the workout..

Today--

same deal--but the numbers were:

225X3
315X2
365
365
385
390
390
390

As you remember, the weights start from the pins..
breaking inertia on the bar, I think, makes these work for me at meet ...
it helps start the bar with authority.

NEXT, I put the pins in the 5th hole (3 inches higher) and repeated locking out

405X3 425X2 455+455+475+475+475

that was the session..

I noted on Wednesday that I had a bit of Pec strain doing the lifts...

Sunday I felt a bit of shoulder pain when I first went to the heavier singles...

but I managed to correct the path of the bar and in both instances the 'pain' went away swiftly...

next week...back to the shirt.
