Week 8: Chest pt.2

For all of my complaints with the progress I am (or am not) making on my other two lifts, I have nothing bad to say with my benching. None whatsoever. Today was another day of progress, and even though we started with incline and worked towards flat, I felt strong in both, and improved my lifting once again.  It might have been due to the intense lunch I ate at Giant Panda, a new Chinese all-you-care-to-eat buffet, but then again I missed my breakfast today. In any case, here is the breakdown:

Barbell incline bench:

• 135 x 10
• 135 x 10 (notice lately we've only warmed up twice.. it was probably a waste of energy and time getting a third set of warmups in to be honest)
• 205 x 3
• 235 x 3
• 245 x 2, 1 assisted (better than last week)
• 245 x 2, 1 assisted
• 225 x 6

Dumbbell flat bench:

• 90 x 10
• 100 x 10
• 110 x 10
• 120 x 6
• 100 x 10

Dips;

• 10
• 10
• 10

Machine Abs:

• 110 x 40
• 110 x 40

Final thoughts: Again, not much to be said for my progress here. As we approach the last third, with 2-rep sets, I imagine I will be making even bigger lifts. Pretty excited for that!
