It's pretty much the same motion as this (I use a lot less leg drive):

YouTube - Travis Ortmayer and Zydrunas Savickas- Viking Press

Except on one of these:



I put my hands under the front of the black pads. I'll maybe get a vid sometime if I can.

ME Bench

I started doing declines... Warmed up to 95lbs and decided the bench/rack was way too shitty to be useful. Unracking 95lbs felt like 225lbs in a decent rack since it was so far back, and the adjustment options on the thing were horrible.

Flat Barbell Bench
45lbs x 10
95lbs x 6
135lbs x 6
135lbs x 3
185lbs x 3 (belt & wrist wraps on)
225lbs x 2
added 2 pads (about the thickness of 3 boards, they're the blue upholstered pads used on a lot of machines).
245lbs x 3
275lbs x 4 sets x 3 reps
300lbs x 1 - PR
315lbs x 1 - PR

Standing Rope Face Pulls
100lbs x 12
120lbs x 12
140lbs x 12
150lbs x 12
170lbs x 8

Incline DB Presses
60lbs x 6
75lbs x 2 sets x 8 reps (wrist wraps on)

Atlantis Shoulder Raises
90lbs x 12
105lbs x 10

Dips
BW x 15
BW x 12

20 mins elliptical

I guess I'll take that as a compliment. I also had my cherry popped in regards to breaking blood vessels in my face. No eye full of blood yet though.
