ME Upper

Where is the ME/DE lower??? Yeah that is what I said. I have been sick all week and for lack of a better description, I $#%%^& out. But today, after 12 hours of sleep, I felt compelled to try again.

Amp'd upper warm-up
A. 1-board press w/1 doubled and 1 choked mini band per side (approx. 120 band tension @top): worked to 225x1, 245x1, 265x1, 285x1

B. JM Press w/1 doubled mini and 1 doubled micro mini per side: 3x3/165, 175, 185

C. Chest supported rows with 1 mini band over the bar: 3x8/80, 90, 100

D1. Shoulder horn: 3x8/ 10, 12, 15
D2. Band pushdowns 3x20 (light band)

The idea behind the main lift and the band tension is to use approximately 40% band tension to bar weight. I ended up with a bit more. I was unsure what my 1rm in the 1-board press with bands is so I based it off of my UN-BANDED 1-board. It worked out well however.

Am I becoming a bench %^&???

Stay strong,
Ed T
