Bench Press
Tonight was the night to put Paul Carter's original Strong 15- bench press to the test. Going into the program, my max was 252. I was able to set a new PR tonight at 258 pounds! While it is only a 6 pound gain, benching has always been so difficult for me to make gains in, so I am very happy with the results.
132/5, 182/1, 222/1, 237/1, 247/1, 252/1 (old PR), 258/1 (new PR)
I tried 261 but stalled out at the halfway point. Despite that, I am pumped about 258 because that is what I had programmed in as my goal for a new max.
Starting weight for the next template commencing next week: 258.
Deadlift
133/5, 223/3, 313/1, 343/1, 363/1
I came in a little lower than what I had planned.
Reasons why:
- two back tweaks in the last couple of months have caused me to deadlift less frequently
- have not deadlifted heavy in a while and am not used to the weight
Starting weight for the next template commencing next week: 363.
