Day 2–Dynamic Effort Upper Body

Second day of programming. Pretty sore in the glutes and quads with the hamstrings being really tight. Below is the workout for today:
  • 9 x 3 Close Grip Bench Press @ ~50%
    • 30 to 60 second rest
Accessories:
  1. 3 x 12 Rear DB Deltoid Raises (shoulder)
  2. 3 x 12 Knelling Cable Rope Pulls (tris)
  3. 3 x 12 Wide Grip Pull Downs (lats)
  4. 3 x 12 Cable Rows (back)
  5. 3 x 10 Floor Presses (chest)
Worked out with my buddy Mark Brewer. I definitely perform a lot better when I work out with a partner.
I also got the pleasure of trying out a Sling Shot today. Put my raw 1 rep max of 225# on the bar. Performed the bench press with the sling shot for a double and could have done more. Was very impressed with how much the sling shot helps launch the weight out of the bottom, which is my weak spot.
