LockoutAfter Tuesday’s tricep-hammering session they were magnificently sore for a couple of days. Exactly what I was after; in fact I enjoyed it so much, I decided to do it again.

This time I shifted things to the bench (at least to start with) which seemed to work well. Heavy triples at Tuesday’s floor press 3RM.

Bench press (close grip) 2×20@20/44, 10@40/88, 5@60/132, 8×3@70/154
Lockout (close grip) 5@90/198
Skull crusher (floor) 4×8@35/77
Seated half press 4×8@50/110
Band pushdown 50@blue

Looking great! Any plans for testing a close-grip/regular bench max soon? My guess is that you’re good for an 85kg close-grip bench or even more if those triples were not all-out. If you’re anything like me that is, I can usually do a single with 10kg more than I can triple.

The triples were reasonably close to a max (80kg should be ok), but I want to avoid testing my bench max until I’ve added a bit of shoulder and tricep strength. I don’t want to hang around just below 100kg for too long :)

Sounds like a good plan.

Yep break right through that barrier.

Excellent workouts you’ve been having, Scott… I wouldn’t worry about hanging around under 100kg for too long if you can keep up training like this.
When is the next shoulder hammering scheduled?

John, it should’ve been this evening but I’m currently a day behind - unless I can squeeze two workouts in. Most likely tomorrow though.

The shoulders seem to need a bit more recovery time than everything else, so I’m tempted to leave the shoulder-intensive stuff for every second bench workout.
