Week 18 - 5/3/1 - Day 64

Cycle #5

Press:  3x80, 3x95, 6x105 Rep PR

These felt pretty good.  Used a false grip on first and second sets, regular grip on the last set.  I think it's much easier to roll back the bar into the wrists with a regular grip.  Maintaining the bar at the base of my palm required a lot of forearm work.  Going back down, I made sure not to drop the weight- usually when I do this I end up losing my tight grip and having the bar roll back into my wrists.  Overall, pretty happy about the lift.  I'd really like to get it up to 10x105.

BBB Press:  5x10x60

Much easier than the previous press day.  Last press day I was all over the place.

Chin-ups:  6/4/3/3/3

The last couple of sets were grinders.  I did them right after doing a set of BBB press.
