OK, so I've decided to abandon my hopes of getting a 405 bench press and powerlifting in general, and start up a more bodybuilding oriented approach to training. Bottom line is that for whatever reason right now is not a good time for me to try to achieve strength records and powerlifting in general. Now, that's not to say I won't return, but right now I need something a little more simpler and less stressful.
These workouts are still going to be as heavy as I can, but I am going to use different rep ranges for different exercises, something I don't usually do, and use a strict bodypart split, with a little carryover, but no exercise will be done more than once per week. Going to try for lots more volume as well for each given exercise without killing myself in the process.
Going to tentatively go with the following split:
Sunday-back
Monday-chest
tuesday-off
wednesday-biceps/traps
thursday-shoulders/tris
friday-off
saturday-legs
Leg work is going to be real cheesy for at least a couple of weeks while I get my back pain straightened out.
so without further ado, here is my first chest workout of the new plan:
Sept 14
CHEST
Incline Bench Press
245 x 5
245 x 5
245 x 5
245 x 5
245 x 5
Flat DB Press
105 x 8
105 x 7
105 x 6
Dips
BW+45 x 12
BW+45 x 10
