2010-10-06 ME Upper

Nice day, though I did make a couple of mistakes.

Warmup, Rolling

Bench: 45, 95, 95, 95, 135
I've hit the point at which I can't properly warm up with 45 (on the benches at the RSF, at least) because getting my leg drive slides me up the pad. I'm still going to do at least one set with 45 per workout, but it's going to be a sort of "loosen up" thing and more of a muscular warmup than a CNS one.
Still going to be strict on form with it, though.

2-Board: 135
3x 185, 185
1x 205, 225, 245 PR, 255 PR
0x 260
1x 235
Woah.
I mean, I knew 225 wasn't my 3RM, but I wasn't really expecting that to pan out.
I wasn't quite mentally there for 260 (versus 255 where I was blasting Painkiller in my head) and think it was probably about what my 1RM would have been even if I'd been completely there. It came down nicely enough but once it was about an inch away from the board I pretty much knew it'd be a miracle if I got it.
Didn't get the wrists flying back thing, though - no dumping here.
This seems to project a roughly 240-245lb bench max a month down the line, which is pretty sweet.

DB Bench:
75s - 6, 6, 4
Should have taken the 70s. Oh well.

LAPD:
3x10 - 105lbs

SDBC:
5x10 - 20s
Last set of these did something to my right shoulder; I was planning to only do 3 sets but decided to go for more, which was probably a mistake.

Plate Halo:
25lb - 5ea
Just something to try to get my shoulder to sit properly. Didn't work.
