Strong 15- Week 8: Bench Press

I have decided to add some sets of light squats to the beginning of this workout, so that I am now squatting twice per week.

Squat

47/15, 138/5, 208/3, 258/2, 258/5

Bench Press

134/5, 155/4, 182/3, 202/2, 214/1, 228/1, 242/1, 214/7

Incline Press

Dumbbells:  70/15, 70/15

Pull Up/Push Up/Abs Pyramid

Pyramid A) No rest:
1/2/3
2/4/6
3/6/9
4/8/12
3/6/9
2/4/6
1/2/3
 
Pyramid B) No rest:
1/2/3
2/4/6
3/6/9
2/4/6
1/2/3 

Pyramid C) No rest:
1/2/3
2/4/6
1/2/3

* An overall good workout. The pyramid is a killer. As far as bench press, 214/7 is one rep lower than the recommended rep range of 8-12. I tried my best for 8, but I wasn't able to get there. Next week calls for 228/8-12. We shall see........
