Tuesday Bench - Red Band

Started earlier, because I'm playing at the opening of the Christmas lights 4 to 6. Body not fully woken up when I started, but we got there - eventually

Bar for 10 x 3 sets
Red band on - adds 25 to 30 at lockout
Bar for 6
30 for 6
40 for 5
50 for 4
60 for 3
70 for 2
80 for 1
90 for 1
100 for 1
110 for 1
95 for 2
85 for 4
75 for 6
Finish

Everything felt heavy, until the 100, which flew up, so I tried 110, which was pretty much at my limit. All the down sets were hard work, but nonetheless a got every rep day. Which is always good!

120 for 1 - slight struggle at the top, so
130 for 1 - went up well, decent pause, 132.5 was probably there, should have been braver
120 for 2 - a good double, but third wasn't there
110 for 3 - lost focus after 3, damn
100 for 6 - recovered a positive mindset
Finish

Happy with that. 132.5 was probably there. Hopefully in three session's time...

Thanks, that's the deliberately marmite one. One review said I should focus more on that style. Truth is, I couldn't find a melody. Grin

Monday Bench - Pyramid

A day early this week. My training partner can't make Friday, so it's Monday and Thursday this week.

The last three pyramid sessions have been 70 up to 10, then 11, then 12, so the plan today was increase the weight by 2.5 and then do the 10, 11, 12 progression again, but I took a brave pill and went up 5 instead of 2.5.

Bar for 10 x 3 sets
40 for 6
60 for 5
80 for 4
90 for 3
100 for 2
110 for 1
120 for 1 - easy, so
132.5 - fail - disappointed by that, based on the 120 I thought it would go
75 for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Finish

Took over two and a half hours, including rests, but it got done. Good news was that 10 wasn't even close to the limit, so the 11 should be there next pyramid session. In spite of the missed 132.5, happy days.

Bar for 10 x 3 sets
Band on
Bar for 6
30 for 6
40 for 5
50 for 4
60 for 3
70 for 2
80 for 1
90 for 1
100 for 1
105 for 1 - just
90 for 2
80 for 4
70 for 6
Finish

Doesn't read like much, but a good, solid, on the limit workout. Heavy day next Monday. Will the elusive 132.5 be there...?

Tuesday Bench

Woke up feeling lousy, had a cup of coffee and then fell asleep in the chair till just gone 1.00. Abandoned plans to train at 2.00, felt up to it about 4.15.

Bar for 10 x 3 sets
40 for 6
60 for 5
70 for 4
80 for 3
90 for 2
100 for 1
110 for 1 - felt hard, worrying
120 for 1 - easy, so
132.5 for 1 - finally. Decent pause, quite smooth press, maybe not quite at my limit
120 for 2
115 for 2
Ran out of everything
Finish.

Over the moon with the 132.5, it's been a long time coming, and all of a sudden I'm only 7.5 away from 140, a number I wouldn't even have dreamed of a couple of months ago. May not get there, but I'm in the ballpark. See where 2025 takes me...

I know... Could it be possible? I'd pretty much given up on seeing that again.
