Week 10 - 5/3/1 - Day 35

Cycle #3

I don't remember my stats, but I think this is a rep PR on the press.  I definitely could have managed a few more reps.

Press:  5x75, 3x85, 4x95

Accidentally did 2 extra reps on the first set.

Boring But Big 70%

Bench Press: 3x10xBar + 5x10x115

My bench felt very strong today.  Managed to bang out all the reps on each set.  I wasn't tucking my elbows as much.  And I also wasn't locking out.  I noticed that when I lockout at the top, my shoulder blades naturally protract thereby making me lose tightness in my upper back.

Curls:  3x10x40 + ***Tricep pushdown:  3x10x35 + Face pull: *3x10x25

Curls were were a bit easier than last time.  Tricep pushdowns were extremely easy.  Face pulls got my anterior delts burning a bit.

Treadmill:  15min at 2.5 speed + max incline.
