Pretty good day today with my benching. Felt a little stiff when I first got there and didn't think I would be any good. Warmed up with my usual weights (60,100,140,180,220) then put my shirt on. 240kg off a 3" board went well but not as good as I wanted. So went to 255kg off a 1 1/2 inch board and the weight flew up. Then put the 10kg chains on with the 255kg bar weight. Good strong set up and great hand off's from both Elijah and Andrew. First 2 sets were off the 1 1/2" board and found it well. The presses were good and the lockouts pretty good as well. Speed could have been better but I will take it. The last set I thought I might as well go to the 1" board and see how it goes. Good set up and strong control on the way down. Good touch and plenty of speed on the way up. Just needed to push my elbows in to make my arms straight and was able to do that.
255kg + 10kg of Chain off 1.5" Board Set 1
255kg + 10kg of Chain off 1.5" Board Set 2
255kg + 10kg of Chain off 1" Board Set 3
4 sets of Stop presses for 6 reps @ 100, 120, 120 and 140kg and 4 sets of alternating close grip benchpress for 8 reps @ 120kg and I was done for the night.
Happy with how the day turned out and this sets me up for a big bench next week.
