Very close to failing 110kg, it was a real grind. Only ever been consistently able to 1RM 115kg so pleased to have most of that strength despite not fully focusing on bench press this year.
WEEK 1

Warm up
Push ups – 13,15,10,10,22

Tougher than I thought it would be, and I can imagine finishing every workout with a set to failure will mean recovery is hard to come by.

Warm up
Push ups – 13,15,11,11,20
Cool down
Fully expecting a lower final set here given the muscle soreness. It doesn’t help that I’m doing a pretty intense opening week of sprint training but once I get through this week and rest I should be fine.
21 Mar
Warm up
Push ups – 14,16,12,12,19
Cool down
Only a little tired here. I had hoped to have a little more breathing room between the minimum reps in the final set, which in this case was 16, and my total. The end of week two involves a minimum target of 20 reps so I’m already a bit apprehensive. Hopefully a few days rest will do me good.
