10x10 bench press @ 120 (no significant change from last week)
1x5 deadlift @ 385 (first time deadlifting since November, no sweat)
I've identified my triceps as the weak link in my bench press chain. Even well into my failure sets, I can still always get it off my chest, but the sticking point is about midway to lockout. Maybe add some tricep isolation work midway between these bench press days?
I'm going to abridge this 10x10 thing and only go another 4 weeks. This will allow me to get moving with heavier weights / lower reps sooner and get prepped for the meet in April.
maybe consider doing some floor presses to isolate your sticking point
ReplyDeleteah, good idea coach. there was a great article i read somewhere, i think t-nation, with good prescriptions for sticking points....
ReplyDeleteThis was it, not as useful as I remember from 6 months ago, but it says anterior deltoids may be my issue. Not surprising since my press also sucks.
