I wanted a max effort exercise that gave my elbows a little break since they are hurting ALREADY. So I chose shoulder saver (red one) benching with chains. Went with 125 bar weight (about 60% of what I hit on floor press the other day since that is the only number I have to go off of) and ended with 6.5 chains for a slow single.
Then we opted for some tricep hell- close grip benching for reps off ascending boards. I started off a 2 board 2 keep my elbows intact and repped it out with a plate off two, three, and four boards. Probably should have gone lighter I think by 4 boards I ended with like 7 reps before I would have dropped the bar on myself had someone not been there. I like those exercises where you are going and pushing and you don’t stop because you are tired or hit the reps but your body just STOPS. Like the leg press hell we do. You think you can jam out a few more but your body is just done at a certain point and you go from repping it out (albeit with difficulty) to dropping the weight on yourself.
Then I decided to spice up our usual shoulder work by doing the shoulder press machine and adding in a DROP SET at the end. Let’s just say it’s a uh work in progress. It took us a long time to figure out how to load the weight the right way and we ended up definitely not getting enough reps in and spent most of the time working out the logistics of it. BODYBUILDING IS HARD.
Chest supported barbell row 3x12-15. Actually took the time to set up a cambered barbell with the little incline bench thing. It’s actually a nice setup for rows it only works if you have enough people or else it is annoying to set up plus I can’t reach it so I need people to hand it to me. I’m just being honest, ok?
