AM Workout
BP: 3x5@220lbs
Assistance: Dips 1x7@70lbs, 21's


Didn't do a second workout because work was long and my sister and new baby niece were in town. I could have gone to the gym but I rather would hang out with my new niece because I don't know the next time I will get to see her.
The workout was great. The first set of bench was tough and was struggling. My power application was totally asymmetrical and the bar was wavering all over the place. The second set was strong as was the third. I think maybe I just need to warm up more...I don't know though. I felt warmed up and jazzed for bench. It was strange to feel so much stronger the second and third set than the first. Heavy dips were bad ass. Just went as heavy as I thought I could while getting in at least 5 reps. It is nice to see the progress throughout the weeks even though I am not really focusing on the strength aspect of my fitness. 21's were tough. In case you weren't aware 21's are a string of push-ups. You start with 21 push-ups, rest 10sec and then do 18 push-ups, rest 10sec, then 15 push-ups etc. After the last 3 reps you go down halfway and hold it for 21sec. A great exercise I learned from my old high school football days....good times.

Cheers!
