Training: ME Bench

Still feeling beat down, so I decided to do something a little different, and still get some good work in.

Phase 1, Cycle 4, Day 2
Illegal wide bench (grip index about an inch outside rings)
45x20,20
95x6
135x6
4x6 @ 185
These were harder than I thought they would be. I think I may plug these in as a supplemental lift for a couple of cycles.

CSR
45x12
90x10
4x8 @ 135

Front raise
3x12 @ 20

OH rope ext
4x12 @ 75

Rope hammer curl
3x15 @ 75

Treadmill: 22 minutes, 180 cals, 1.1mi

Workout time: 5:50p - 7:10p

Saw some interesting stuff last night. Generally, the gym is pretty empty on Fridays, what with happy hour and all. Last night, I watched a skinny little buggar do what sort of looked like a bench press with 315, then the celebration after. I also saw a dad and a son, the son maybe 12, and remarkably obese. Good to see them training together. If I see them again, I may give some tips, as they were spending their time on machines that didn't really fit the kid.

Yeah I see some pretty interesting observations in the gym as well. Most of them provide me with a good laugh and I go about my workout smiling!

It wasn't impressive. It was more like a 2 board press with a silly uneven lockout.

But he can brag to all of his friends.
