Press - 185x5x5 (strictish)
CGB (beltless) - 245x6x3/245x5
245 may have been a bit of an over shot lol. SMOKED first two sets. Third set ended in a grind so slow I thought I miscounted and did 7. 5th rep slowed WAYYYYY down on the last set, 6 wasn't gonna be there so I didn't bother grinding for a miss. My bench is finicky like that.

Re: GET STRONG 2: The Strongening - Ramblings of an Amateur Strongman
Close grip always seems to die out suddenly for me too. My sets usually go from RPE 7 to 10 in 1 rep.mouse wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 5:05 pm 5/15/2018

Bench in general for me seems to do that.

Deadlift - 460x5x4
Tempo Squat (beltless) - 305x5x3
Carry Medley - 270 Farmers, 175 SB, Big Tire, 50ftx2
Farmers - 270x2
Hook grip slipped on me third deadlift set, that sucked lol.
Had some clients at the gym today but all they wanted to do was bench...

Bench - 290x5/280x5x3
Z-Press - 122.5x8x3
Pinch Grip - R/L 70x1
Bench felt like garbage today, too fast and loose, accidentally cut fourth rep @290 short. Hopefully it comes back soon even if I hate it.
Got them commies though finally, so maybe my grip is coming back after all. Now to get them for more then a split second lol

Press - 190x5x5 (little bit of standing bench press towards the end lol)
CGB - 245x6/250x6/240x6x2
Almost boned myself on that last set lol. I've been focused on keeping my time between sets around 5 mind or under, for reasons, but I may might have cut it too short because the first three sets moved so well. Last set did that weird rep 5 was @7 but rep 6 was @9.5 lol
Edit: just got pointed out that I loaded 240 instead of the planned 235 on the last two sets like a dunce

Deadlifts - 465x5x4
Tempo Squat (beltless) - 325x5x3
Axle Press/TnG Farmer Deads EMOM - 135x2/290x3x6
Deadlifts sucked. Squats didn't suck that bad. EMOM should have been 7 rounds but I had to do Dad stuff suddenly.

No training today.
Wife popped out a 6 pound test tube baby at 3 am today. Delivery went well, kid is doing well, some minor complications with the wife that held up recovery but with a little luck we will be home tonight. New mom and dad are holding up well despite the general lack of sleep lol...
