2/26/13 Bench Press, Push Press

Got another cortisone shot in my elbow/bicep brachiallis today.  So I had to skip several elements today.  I ended up pushing to hard on the push press anyway.

Bench Press 3 - 2 - 1 rest 2 minutes between sets
135 - 10 times
185 - 8 times
205 - 3 times
225 - 3 times
235 - 2 times
245 - 1 time but came off bench again not happy.  I have been working when we do bench which is not very often to keep a flat back usually with feet up.  I think I need to just back down and stop trying to go high when I am not ready.  A year or so ago when we put a little more time for a few months on bench press I was able to hit 245 up I think 2 times with a flat back but feet on the floor.

Push Press
10 - 8 - 6 - 4 - 2, rest 1 minute

135, 140, 145, 150, 155

This was rough and stressed my arm.
