Workout Logs 10-13-2012: Bench Press

Saturday evening is probably my favorite time of the week to workout. The gym is practically empty so there is no wait for equipment and I can focus on what I'm doing with no interruptions. This past Saturday's workout was especially good because Brandon came up to join me and gave me tips and extra motivation. Here's what the workout looked like:

Bench Press: (45x5) (50x5) (60x3) (75x5) (80x3) (95x3)

Incline Close Grip Bench Press 4x6

DB Shoulder Press: 4x6
1 Arm DB Rows: 4x15

Inverted Rows: 4x10
Face Pulls (with bands) 3x12

Tricep Pushdowns (with bands) 3x12
Bicep Curls (with bands) 3x12
Chest Flys (with bands) 1x15

Really good workout! The last set of bech press was very tough. I really need to focus on keeping my shoulder blades pulled together and also work on my heel drive as I come back up. I do feel like I'm making progress on my bench though. My arms were spaghetti after this but didn't feel much soreness the next day. I've been trying to focus more on getting an adequate amount of sleep, which will help me tremendoulsy in terms of recovery. I will leave you with another motivation picture:
