9/25/2006 RE Bench

Didn't eat well over the weekend or today. Got in and out before the crowd.

Warmup: Side and front raises, 3x20

Bench press
2x20 @ 45
95x10
135x10
190x8,6,4

I'm not happy with this at all. I am benching without a spotter and not in a rack, so I'm cautious, but I should have blown up 3x8 like nothing.

Close grips
3x7 @ 135

Neutral grip pulldowns
160 x 10,10,10,7

Face pull (lat machine)
100x8; 3x15 @ 70

Pec Deck
2x10 @ 100

Machine rows
2x10 @ 100

Workout time: 3:50 - 4:45

I'm getting through faster than I was, and I feel like I have some gas left in the tank at the end; maybe that means I need to train harder at the beginning, or maybe I'm getting in better shape. Or both. Second 'week' done, not too bad. I do need to decrease the number of off days as we go along.
