Workout Log 3-24-13: Bench (Reps)

Yesterday started the second week of my meet preparation. For this workout, I went down to ISU to train with Brandon and then enjoy my one evening of carbs for the week.

Yesterday was my bench day for reps. Here is what the workout looked like:

Incline Bench Press: 1x8 @ 70%
Incline DB Bench: 2x20
Close Grip Bench: 3x12 supersetted with TRX Inverted Rows 4x12
Band Flys: 3x15 supersetted with Band Pullaparts 4x20
100 Total Band Pressdowns
Overhead Press: 3x12
Abs: (Weighted Side Planks: 3x35 seconds)

We finished the workout with a little bit of Olympic lifting. Olympic lifting is something that I really want to learn more about so Brandon helped me with cleans yesterday. I definitely need practice but it was a lot of fun to start learning something new! And it really got me sweating!!!

After the workout we enjoyed a feast of grilled chicken breast, gluten free mac and cheese, baked potato, rice, and ice cream for dessert! Now that I've got my carb stores reloaded I'm ready to go another week! Today is my deadlift day; I have snatch grip deadlifts today which will be something new for me...and I still have those silly Olympic stance squats...just can't seem to hide from those!

Enjoy the day and work hard...the harder you work, the luckier you get!

I think this pic is just adorable and so true! :)
