Sunday - Bench Press. Week 1 Cycle 5

Yeah, I wear a collared shirt and swim trunks to the gym. 'Sup? 

Sometimes you hear people talk about muscle confusion, that doing things you've never done before acts as a catalyst for new growth. Well, I'm pretty sure that by wearing ridiculous clothes to the gym I'm confusing the hell out of my muscles. Must be why today was a good workout and why the bench press continues to improve.

Goals for today:

165x5
190x5
215x5

Lifted:

165x5
190x5
215x12


Week 1 bench lifts thus far:

• 200x8-->205x9-->205x9-->210x12-->215x12 (301lb calculated 1RM). 

Assistance work improved today as well:

• I increased the DB's for flat bench from 60lbs to 65lbs and got 71 reps in 5 sets: 15,15,15,15,11.
• Continued with the 100lb DB's for one arm rows: 50 reps in 5 sets.
