Alex's Journey

Bench Press Warm up:
Bar x 10, 95lbs x 8, 115 x 7, 135 x 5, 145 x 2

1RM = 180lbs

Now 180lbs is 5 pounds less than my working sets have been the 2 reasons my 1RM is lower than my working sets have been are
#1 I’m using a full range of motion now, about 3 inches lower (touching my chest) than I would normally go
#2 Probably have lost a slight bit of muscle in my pecs

Next week I will be starting a powerlifting program for strength

10 minutes of jogging around the block and 10 minutes of jump rope this morning before breakfast.
