Push - Week 1 (First week of RPT)

This workout was my first taste of refer pyramid training. I also used it to work out which weights I'll need to hit the rep ranges I'm going for. The workout took an hour including warmup, and I got an insane pump from the first few exercises.

In this workout I brought back skull crushers, only this time I brought the bar behind my head. I got a good burn in my triceps from this, and there was less strain on my elbows.

Today's workout:

  • Incline bench: 87.5 kg 6/72.5 kg 9/57.5 kg 10 (up 2.5 kg next workout)
  • Flat bench: 82.5 kg 5/67.5 kg 7/52.5 kg 10 (Keep the same next workout)
  • Standing overhead press: 50 kg 5/37.5 kg 9/30 kg 9 (Same next workout)
  • Flyes: 17.5 kg 11/6/5 (same next workout)
  • Skull crushers: 20 kg 13/8/6 (up 1kg next week)
  • Triceps kickbacks: 7.5 kg 13/8/6 (up 1 kg next week)
    • Diamond pushups (finisher): 12
