New 1 Rep Max's

Thursday's Chest Workout and 1 RM's

I am very pleased to inform all my blog readers about my progress in my transition from bodybuilding to powerlifting. As I am still pretty bad at preforming a deadlift properly I will leave the data out for this exercises and just concintrate on the other 2 exercises.

So as you may or may not know, 3 weeks ago I started a Russian powerlifting program. It has been kicking my ass though out the weeks. Here are my 1 rep max numbers that I need at the start of this program:

• Squat = 315 lbs
• Bench = 255 lbs

So yesterday after taking the entire week off of squats, I went to visit my buddy Aaron to help spot me for these heavy lifts. They went as follows:

• Squat = 355 lbs
• Bench = 275 lbs

Originally I only wanted to try my squat, but I was so happy with the lift that I did my bench as well. Here is a lay out of my workout.

Squat (1x12), (1x8), (2 x 2), (1x1), 1RM

Bench (warm up), (2x3), 1RM

DB seated shrug (3x10)

DB incline bench (3 x10)

DB flys (2 x 12)

I think I may have done too many Dumb Bell exercises as my chest died on me on the last set of DB flys, I had to get a spotter to finish.
