I've never been a great fan of bench press... but today was my doom ! After the Bear of yesterday and my shoulders still fried from the 70 or so push presses... came the 100 bench press !
WOD
100 reps of :
- Bench press 135#
- Pull ups
I tried 135# and I knew I wouldn't be able to complete the WOD as Rx'd... 1st deception ! So I went with 115#.
The first three rounds of 10s were great... then the bench press started to lag behind : Most of my pullups were completed in 10s (I think I had 11 sets of these).
The bench press was hard... I would be able to crank 4 impecable reps... then the 5 wouldn't even go up ! The muscles were just giving up abruptly. I finally completed the WOD dead friggin last but at least I completed it ! After thinking about it I should have gone with sets of 5s all around... 5BP then 5 Pullups reactivating the blood circulation for the BP and then vice-versa... oh well live and learn... I always said that if I don't get brighter, at least I will get stronger !
