a 4 aside bench would be a good place to start

I will do it at the end of the program. Hoping to be closer to 190 at the end of it. Would love a 200 bench, and I will get one eventually

I just take the minimum i think i need. It varies set to set. I rarely train with measured rest, I just go by feel, as I would rather rest longer and make my lifts than rush and fail. I find I rest longest between sets 3 and 4, which I think is a mental thing. With 3 sets done you feel like there is loads to go, and take a bit of rest. After that, just 2 to go, sounds easy, batter them out. Shortest rest us usually between 5 and 6 as I am not thinking about preserving energy for further sets.
It also depends if I am training alone, chatting too much , or end up doing an induction for someone in the middle of my session

Cleans
70x some but more like a deadlift with a reverse curl, no explosiveness at all. Very sluggish
Bent over rows

100x10
100x10

We all have crappy sessions m8 now and again, the main thing is you got through it and got some work done
I'm sure it will be full steam ahead next session ! IrishMarc05/07/12 @ 11:12
Bad sessions happen, if you want Martin keeps a big store of xtra large tampons ready for such occasions.

The trouble is, it shouldn't be grafting, it should be easy for reps.
Just a bad day, but i hate having bad days. usually I find something I can do to a reasonable level, but not last night. Hopefully better tonight
