Training Log: Entry 297

DE upperbody day
Speed bench triples of 155
Note: Lighter weight means more speed.  Felt much better here.

Close grip bench of 185
10,10,10,6

Note: Working my way up.  Next time, might push it all the way.

Straight bar pulldown of 145
10,8,8,7

Note: Lighter weight meant better form.  Stick with this for now.

Lateral Raises of 20
12,12,12

Note: Finally made it.  Next time, 25s.

Pull-ups
5,5,5,4,3,2

Note: Liked this set-up more.  Might follow a traditional 5X5 routine with some weight to build this up.

Hammer curls of 20
10,9,10

Note: Next time, all the way.

 

Been hitting the heavybag more often.  They got a new wavemaster that's pretty fun.  It's base is independent of it's stem, which is one a spring.  Combination of double end bag and heavybag.  It moves around a lot, get to practice my timing.  Doing a lot of slipping/bobbing and countering drills.  Hooks are getting strong.

Using this as a weight lifting log has really helped my progress in the gym.  Before, I'd never progress.  Now, it's always one more rep or more weight.
