    what are you benching these days?

    WS?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,682 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    I've been easing into it…i spent too long trying to work around what was likely a worse injury than i gave it credit for and then had to fully rest benching. So, low volume and easing up through intensity for now…slowly increasing. Top single was 97.5 the other day. Happy with that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,682 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    Made more sense to log the number of Working Sets since I'd lost the physical logbook (again). That way I know what I've done across a training week in terms of different movements.

    Bench - worked up to single at 100, then reps at 90, 85, 80, 75 after

    Lat Pulldown - 4 x WS

    Tricep pushdown - 4 x WS

    Lat Pulldowns - 4 x WS

    Ab Rollouts x 4 sets

    Bench has been mid/closer grip since I started back. Maybe 3cm of knurling inside my grip. Just less likely to aggravate anything. But that grip was never a million miles from comp bench level anyway.

    Time squeezed and might need to give rowing a miss on leg-focused day.

    Resting heart rate has been 10%+ above normal for a couple of weeks which coincided with the feeling sh*t but taking a while to head back in the direction of 100%

    Starting to feel like the body is coming out of the molasses so will start back into the rowing this week.

    C2: 4000m in 15.08

    Bench (to single at RPE 9, 4 B/O sets)

    Pull Ups (4 WS)

    Hamstring curls (4 WS)

    DB OHP (4 WS)

    Resting heart rate returned back to baseline after a little over 5 weeks more than 10% higher. Obviously had something, which would explain being fatigued. Anyway, that was the second best time I've done 4000m for though it was still 2s per 500m slower than PB

    Last few times I tried rowing, albeit at less than 100%, I gassed out. So just gonna work back to a place to start a programme from where I'm not gassing. It's the same as falling lifts...a bad habit you don't want in your head when you do need to push hard.

    Had more time today so did a bit more

    Did the rowing at lunchtime and the weights this evening. Took a small toll on the front squats but the bench was a bit lower too. Getting used to the bar in the front rack position again. Sucked absolute donkey balls the first week

    DB Bench (4 WS)

    Extra round of rowing. Starting to feel the fitness build again. Was right to ease into it and judge by feel. No rush...just keep building the engine.

    The range of motion in the hip thrust machine here is nice...hit the glutes hard. But the strap digs right in. Still, better than a bar on your bawbag

    Taking it handy on the back. Went to doc last week because it didn't feel like muscle pain. Anyway, said muscles were tonic as bejaysus so got an NSAID gel and told to get myself to a physio. Rowing sidelined for a week or two.
