Day 3/ Benches

Sunday – 4/15/18

Shoes: Adidas AdiPower lifting shoes.

Bars: Heavy Duty Power Bar, Dumbbell Bars, Curl Bar.

Speed Cambered Bar Benches: [Regular: 35/15, 45/11, Speed: 50/9, 55/7] (9, 7, 5, 3) 60/9, 62/7, 65/10*, 70/3

Workout time: 0:45

The third set of Speed Benches was supposed to only be five reps, but I wasn’t paying attention and just kept going! Thinking that meant I started too light, I jumped more than I had planned for my last set, but it felt heavy. Strange. Also, the curls were supped to be done with a reverse grip, but I did them with a regular grip.

Workout time: 0:43

With skipping a BA workout and doing Benches on this day instead, it had been 11 days since I have benched, and speed benches did not feel good. I hope that does not carry over to regular benches this afternoon.

Six Week Peaking Plan

For the final six weeks of training pre-contest, I will do the actual powerlifts and thus my Week C morning workouts every other week, but I will continue with the Trinity Rotation otherwise. That means, my training weeks will be in the order of Weeks A, C, B, C, A, C. However, the letters for my Day 1 workouts will differ due to having skipped a Day 1 workout and following the normal A, B, C order.
