EFS Beginners Program: Week 3 ME Bench

First block of the EFS program is almost done, and not a moment too soon. I hit all my goals, so I'm obviously happy. Considering that I've worked out with more volume than this, I was starting to feel worn down a bit this week. Time to change movements, or I need to eat better. CNS wise, this whacked me more than the volume stuff.

2-Board Bench Press: 65x5, 90x5, 115x5, 140x5, 165x5, 190x5, 215x5. Done with pinkies on the rings. I had to dig in for the last two reps but it was all good.

Pullups (Purple Band/Monster Mini): 7 sets of 5

3-Way Shoulder Raises: 8x20x3.

Dumbbell Triceps Extensions: 25x8x5. Since 10 reps was too easy last week, I upped the weight and tried for 10. Just a bit short. The book recommends 5 sets of 10. I think next time, I'll just stick to the prescription and not try to set too many records.

Reverse Curls: 45x10x5.
