Notes: 3:00 between benching, 2:00 between dips. Alternated between incline and bench on the second half. Decided to switch up the stimulus. Been doing pretty much the same thing for 2 years now, minus a slight change in exercise order. Really been wanting to bring in dumbbells, and really regretting never pulling the trigger on those Ironmaster ones before the world ended, but I still have a plan. I'm going to run 3 week waves, and then up the incline on my bench by 1 notch and start it over again (I used the Ironmind flat bench for today, because it's cooler, but will use the incline when the time comes). If things get tough, I'll break out a slingshot or metal's catapult to overcome it. With my weight being down, I just need to do things differently so I'm not just watching my strength drop. There's also a fair chance I have room to STILL get stronger if I start working from new angles.
I really dug this, and I'm getting a lot from all the experience I've accumulated training the bench up to this point. I'm "playing the game the way I want to play it" right now, and it's working well enough.
I had a pretty slick set up for the DBs using my power keg and a bumper plate
And here is how I set up the chains. I KNOW it's not the right way to do it if it's dynamic effort work, but for what I wanted, it did great
Took some more glamour shots of 188
The biggest difference I see here vs when I was at 196 is the bottom of my stomach. It's much flatter
