Monday - Bench Press #2

One of the reasons I started this program is because my bench is so weak. Today's workout gave me some cause for celebration since I increased a good bit over my first bench workout. Last week called for 200 x 5+, for which I got 8 reps. Today called for 210 x 3, for which I again got 8 reps. My assistance lifts improved as well!

Today's Goals:

165x3
185x3
210x3+

I lifted:

165x3
185x3
210x8

Assistance work increased in weight: 55lb db's for 5 sets of 15 reps (still easy). Also increased DB rows to 75lbs for 5 sets of 10 reps.

Poison Ivy is still in effect and I'm taking prednisone for it. it's keeping me up at night and side effects include muscle atrophy and increased abdominal fat =(
