11/19 push
Gd gd gd !!! I wanted that 10th rep on flat bench press today. I've hit 9 before but never 10. And I failed 2/3 way up too. Never failed a press there before. I was gonna do a rest pause but on 2md set that BB was pinned to my chest and not moving. Probably not a good idea to do rest pause on flat anyway. I did do the negative after tho. My pressing always suffers when I don't at this gym. It's the same bench and bars not that different. I dunno. I'll get that 10 next time tho damnit!!! The rest was fine I guess. Won't be doin this workout at this gym again tho for a while. I had to do a training session is only reason I did it today. I train and personal train at different gyms mostly. Anyways

12/3 legs B
I'm not sure what the hell I've done to my back but it's been getting a little sore intermittently for a couple weeks now. Sunday it started getting much worse then Monday morning got up to awful stabbing pain in left lower back so I dunno. Doesn't hurt to load it really hence the deadlifts Sunday night, but if I bend over or flex my core suddenly, holy shit!!! For that reason, and to save some time, I did my 20+ rep set on leg press instead of moving to hack squat for it. I got a damn swollen lower arm too out of nowhere. Sunday was with training client, felt a pain and looked down and was shocked at what I saw. Oh well. Was at wrong gym for this workout but made due. Different machines but same movements. Had a client so didn't have time , didn't make time rather, for 2 different gyms cause have my real job too to go to. So total reps are off on test pause sets
Seated hams 1x rest pause

12/5 push B
Holy shit, I finally freaking did it!! Hit 10 reps with 315 on bench press!! I've hit 9 a handful of times but I've chased that 10th for 2 years now. Of course I've been thru 3 preps in that time. Everytime I got back to 9 it was late enough in prep it just had to go or my body just stopped progressing this past summer and reps went backwards. Not a big deal to others I guess but been a secret goal of mine for so long. Just made the whole damn session better.
On my barbell press rest pause sets last 2 weeks I only got 1 or 0 reps on 2nd RP set So i decided to just drop the rest pause and do a back off set with a negative at the end. Got stuck under bar today
but it was just 245 so no big deal. Lesson learned tho, raise the safeties up a notch. Anyways, Flat BB press 1x6-10/1 back off 10-12 + negative
315x10
245x11 +negative
Hammer incline press 1x rest pause 12-15/ 1 back off
2.5 pps x 8/1.5/1 + negative (too big of a jump)
2 pps x 5 (also too heavy first time doin this back off. Shooting for 12-15)
Incline DB fly with band 1x 20+
20 +red band x 16 (wanted 20+. Again, first time trying with band. I hate just DB and cables occupied )
Chest stretch in db fly position
Cable lateral
40x12/10
30x12/10
Smith press 1x rest pause 12-15
155x7/5/3
Rope press down 1x rp 15-20
80x12/6/4 + neg
Cable overhead ext
60x13
50x13 drop set
40x20
I can't believe how steadily I'm gaining weight and staying lean at same time. Gotta calorie sweet spot for the moment it looks like.
