So,
I was able to do 12x115 lbs on the bench. It was close at the end. I was still sore across my pecs, but not my main power muscles I guess. Locking out at the top was harder than usual, I am attributing that to the previous workout. In any case, no more benching for 5 days, so we will see, but it seems likely I can do the same workout twice next week and move up.
That was the only compound excercise I did today. I did biceps 2x10 with a 55 lb bar, and then finished with a set of 1x10 25 lb free weights. I like mixing it up, and also the way my weight set is, using the barbell helps me with weights like 22.5 and 27.5 lb etc on up, as opposed to my dumb bells that are on multiples of 5.
This is where it got interesting. I was thinking of a couple other exercises to do, and I didn't really feel like doing pushups, but I got the idea to hold 2.5 lbs in each hand and do circles with my arms extended like in P.E. Class. i did it 30 forward and 30 backwards, 2 sets. Could totally feel the burn in there a bit. Then I wanted to do a 4th exercise, I went with Lawnmower pulls, so it was really a day for wailing on the triceps. I did that 1 set with a 25 lb weight, then I made a weight that was 32 1/2 lbs and did 2 sets of that.
Overall, just mainly resting the back for a full week, going slightly up in weight on curls, and throwing some random shit in there that is not really compound exercise stuff, to give my body a break.
I also have been wearing these heavy steel toed boots to keep my feet planted, its good.
