UB: Reps Week 2. Bench

Defranco Shoulder Mobility

Bench -
BarX15X2
65X10
105X6
135X3
170X1
135X13, 4, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4 (32 total reps)

Press -
95X5
85X5
65X5
BarX10
BarX11

Standing Abs - 5 sets of 8-15

135X13 is a Rep PR.  Bench was alright, but I wanted to get 14 reps on my first work set, and I had no confidence I would go back up so I stopped at 13.  Interestingly, after the single, the doubles were significantly easier as should be evident by my ability to get 4 reps on by final set.  I a;ls got more total reps than last session.  Possibly it would be worthwhile to try for a few less reps on the first set, in the hopes of getting more reps on the subsequent sets.  I might try this next week to see what happens.

5X5 presses were about the same as last time, but I was able to get more reps on the empty bar sets.

Added some weight to one of the cable crunch sets, but only got 8 reps and had to drop back down.  It's cool, though.
