workout: upper-body p1w4b

End of phase 1, looking forward to changing up the workout for the next month as well as testing max lifts in four weeks. The next phase has few changes in terms of differing types of deadlifts/squats, but the fundamentals are still compound lifts.

I was only half planning on lifting today, but the lack of a working furnace gave me a reason to get out of the house. I’m now holed up at the library for a couple of hours getting some work done hoping that when I return the temp will have risen over 55 degrees.

I probably shouldn’t have lifted bench after barbell press, my right shoulder was pretty wiped out. I did alright considering I missed two weeks of flat bench. Dumbbell benching is fine, but there’s no replacing 100 lbs dumbbells for 300 lbs riding above your face.

Should be a decent afternoon. Jen and I will hit the Northwestern game for a couple of hours, pick up some food and camp out in the apt, getting some work done.

barbell press: 45×8, 65×8, 85×6, 95×6, 115×6, 135×3 (three sets)
bench press: 135×8, 165×6, 205×6, 245×5, 275×3 (two sets)
standing neutral press: 45×6, 50×6 (three sets)
cable crossover: 5×8, 6×6, 6×6
