April 12 monday-chest

starting a MM style routine to get ready for a couple contests. I have been doing a standard 5x5 routine for 3 months now, but ive read alot of good things about MM and it fits the way i like to train, which is heavy all the time.

Flat bench-
135x20 warmup
185x5
225x5
275x3
285x3
295x3
305x3
315x1
325x1 failed here last week
335x0 close but couldnt get it 330 would have gone

I dont have any boards yet, getting some lumber this week though. Just setup the power rack to around a 4-5 board height and pressed off that..

225x5
275x5
315x3
335x1
365x1
had to stop here, starting from a dead stop that far down is really tough on my shoulders.

ran out of time so i just did a couple sets of cable flys, theres still a little bodybuilding alive in me.

80x12
100x6 drop to 70 for 6 more.

friday is next chest day, ill be using a shirt and boards, hopefully ill get a full workout in.

the metal militia training style is designed for people on a cycle i believe, and i kind of felt weaker today, it must be true. Just feels like too much, like im overtraining. Cant wait to do this routine when im on anavar in a couple months.

Nice work.
Remeber to catch and throw of the boards/pins. Take it down fast touch and throw it up.

The MM routine took my bench from 365 to 430 raw.

It takes time to get used to the volume.

 

[DaveTSI]

yeah its tough, my shoulders, elbows and wrists are aching so bad by the time i get through the routine. where you on the whole time you did this routine?
