So, up at 5 for work at 6 this morning. Fortunately it was a short shift and I got off at noon, so I hit the gym at 1. Once again, I'll say the best pre-workout I've ever found is Starbucks' Venti Double Shot, I get too extra pumps of syrup because I'm a moo. But hey, it's close to 400mg of caffeine, so it works nicely. Anyway, Went decently heavy for the first time in forever, good news, no shoulder pain with the Slingshot. Bad news, not entirely sure I would have gotten it. Haven't got my partner completely trained on spotting me when I'm going over 400, so he might have taken the bar a bit too soon. It didn't help that when I got my setup first I was too high on the bench and there was no way I could have lowered the bar without re-racking it. HOWEVER, once he grabbed the bar I started the push again pretty hard, so off my chest to about 3 inches up, good, that 3-4 mark was a ball buster where he put his hands on the bar, but he said he only grabbed and pulled a tiny bit before I threw it back up, so looks like I'll be doing some board benching for a bit to get past that point. Lets see, that seems like enough so here's numbers.
SS Bench 135x10, 225x10, 315x4, 405x0ish. See explanation above.
Then we did some as best we can without an actual bamboo bar, bamboo bar benchpress. Here's a pic.
135 pounds total, sets of 15, 12, 12, 12.
5 total chinups
V-Bar press downs 100 x 34
Was a good day, hopefully the no shoulder pain will continue. Gotta be at work at 4am so, gonna wrap this up tonight and consider sleep, might not happen, but it will be taken under consideration.
