Weak Bench Press Night @ The Pit

Damn, I've lost some strength.

Bench Press
10 reps @ 60 kgs
8 reps @ 80 kgs
5 reps @ 90 kgs
3 reps @ 110 kgs
5 reps @ 100 kgs
3 reps @ 100 kgs

CGBP
10 reps @ 60 kgs
8 reps @ 80 kgs
5 reps @ 90 kgs
2 reps @ 100 kgs

DB 'Kroc' Rows
left 5 reps @ 80 kgs
right 4 reps @ 70 kgs - couldn't even manage more than 1 set @ 80!
left 5 reps @ 70 kgs
right 6 reps @ 60 kgs

T-bar Rows
8 reps @ 60 kgs
8 reps @ 60 kgs
6 reps @ 60 kgs
6 reps @ 60 kgs


Pathetic.

AFTER some scrutiny of my (apparently near-nonexistent) back arch, I was advised that no more or less than 5-6 reps should be the target for every set to help rebuild my woefully weak chest. On the last, I couldn't even manage that with 100. Weaksauce.

On to rows, and the situation didn't get any better there. I'm told they aren't actually fat enough to be fat grip, but the dumbbell bars at the Pit are definitely thicker than my pedestrian equipment at home, and this caused my grip to fail on every set before I really got the job done. I was also much weaker than my last effort with Kroc rows. Dejected, I got on the T-bar and did some mass building to properly fatigue the muscles.

Already looking forward to events training Saturday. I'm gonna throw that log around.
