Today was Week 2 of Volume for Bench Press. I didn't squat over the weekend because of a pretty bad adductor strain but it's starting to feel better now. Just slowly bumping up the weight with multiple sets right now on bench and doing the final set for as many reps as possible. Last week was 3x10 w/ 225lbs and then 1x22 on the 4th set. This week bumped up to 235lbs and did 3x10 then 1x23 on the 4th set. So overall happy with how things went, and then followed it up with close grip shoulder saver pad work and a bunch of back, shoulder, and bicep/tricep accessories..
A1. 6 Sets of Lat Pulldowns - 3x15 wide grip & 3x10 neutral grip
