Worked in between 60-70% as prescribed. (105,110, 115, 120, 125) Conditioning – A) 3 + 2 hspu (hspu need constant… Read more »

A. Hit between 171-176.5#
B. Did 3 sets every 3 minutes at 110#. This is getting harder to stay fast. Only dud 3 sets cause I wanted to get some conditioning in cause I can’t do any tonight.
C. Hit 150# x 3, 145# was my old 1-RM. I attempted 155# for 2 and failed third. Then went for 160# for 1 and got it!! https://instagram.com/p/BM9hOaSAbEp/

A. 3 + 1. Overall happy with it cause I didn’t think I’d use 155# but did.
B. 3 rounds even. Didn’t have time for more.

Standing bench press…:)

Stay back on those heels, dip straight and drive straight up not forward.
