Forgot to mention in my program right off, I will be monitoring rest times from now on with an interval app. 3 minutes rest for main work sets. This is a big change for me.
380 x 5, 5, 5
Bent-over dumbbell rows
100 x 8
Bench press
265 x 5, 5, 5
-
Super-set with bilateral dumbbell rows
115s x 8, 8, 107
Iron Woody band pressdowns
14, 15, 10
-
Super-set with bilateral dumbbell curls
50s x 10
35s x 10, 10
5 minutes exercise bike
Interestingly enough, these are basically the weights I used 10 years ago, although my squat is stronger now, but with vastly reduced rest times. It feels fresh and exciting to use that as a progression model.
I had a blast this workout, and even got a good pump at the end. Had to rest a little longer than 3 minutes on the last bench press set but when I got into the bar I realized that was probably not necessary; the first set felt the hardest (partially because of my greatly reduced warm-up prep) and I began to ease into 265.
Cool to watch these changes and evolutions. There's STILL so much to learn. I'm excited for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks man! That's a good way of putting it. Amazing how despite the amount of time we've been training you still feel like there's so much to try out and experiment with.
