12/17/12 - benchmark fsquat/incline press

Benchmark week

Training @ 430a

Front squat up to 475x1
Narrow grip incline press up to 315x1, miss at 335
BW pullups x5x4

Lots of rest time between sets and minimal accessory work. Maxing this week to determine new %s for my next block. Goal was to hit 455 on fronts and ended up smoking it. Got psyched up and killed 475 after. Didn't want to get greedy so I shut it down there. I wanted 365 on incline press but will have to settle for 315. I was unexpecting how much the triceps were going to come into play on the narrow grip (note: not close grip) incline presses. Definately going to stick with this, might have finally found a really good tricep exercise. Close grip flat bench just wasn't hitting it the way I wanted to. Missed 335 so whatevs.

Rainy all weekend so couldn't throw on Saturday and field is still very soggy so didn't throw this morning. Tomorrow = push press, deads & hammer. Looking forward to it.
