Bench Press 11/13/06

Bench Press 135x10/225x3/315x1/325x13
Dumbell Extensions 30x10/35x10/40x10/45x10/50x10,8+2
V-Bar Pushdowns 100x4x12
Workout Time: 26 minutes:-(

Another good day for the narrow grip benching. Could've got 15 but once again had no spotters and I was taking no chances. Everything else after the benching was done with labored breathing and I didn't catch my breath till about 15 minutes after I got home.

11/09/06 OHP

OHP 135x5/185x3x6
Dumbell Nosebreakers 30x12/35x8/40x6x8
Rope Pushdowns 4x15,12,10,10 using descending weight

Presses were suprisingly easy, will go for 185x3x7 next week. The Kennelly type extensions were getting to me as they really seemed to hit the upper part of the tricep hard with little work to the area around the elbow. Got the idea from Hoornstra to do nosebreakers with dumbells for a good stretch. Boy do these work nice, I recommend these to everyone.

Bench Press 11/06/06

Bench Press 135x10/225x3/315x1/315x14
V-Bar Pushdowns 90x12/100x3x12
Dumbell Extensions 30x12/40x10/35x10/30x2x10

Didn't get last set of extensions in as I reached my 25 minute mark. Extensions were way hard after the pushdowns. This is a PR for bench using the thumbs length from the smooth grip.

11/02/06 OHP

OHP 135x5/165x5/175x5/185x5
Dumbell Extensions 30x12/35x12/40x3x8/45x12/30x12(after pushdowns)
V-Bar Pushdowns 90x15/100x3x15

Got this one done in 23 minutes. OHP done standing and super strict. No legs and no back bending at all. I got the idea of doing these from Kara Bohigian. My form on these is real good as I did them a lot when boxing and studied Pavels' technique pointers for over a year. Did some triceps and that was it. No back this week as I was busy with the baby and not feeling 100%. Rest never hurts though!!
