I have been following Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program so today the plan was to do go for a max single in the bench press. Anytime I have an excuse to test my max bench press I will take it so I was pretty excited for this workout.

Besides, getting yoked is sweet!

Here is what I did today:

• Mobility Work
• loosen up the joints, especially the shoulders
• Warm-Up
• a bit of band work to get the blood flowing
• A1 Bench Press
• starting with the bar, worked up to 405 x 1 for a hard but smooth single
• A2 Fat Gripz Pull-Ups
• 8 x 5, 1 x 10
• B1 Incline Bench Press
• worked up to 275 x 5
• B2 Fat Bripz Machine Rows
• 5 x 10-12
• C1 Cable Curls
• 3 x 10-12
• C2 Cable Triceps Extensions
• 3 x 10-12
• C3 Reverse Flys
• 3 x 10-12

I am using Fat Gripz as often as possible for my gym work to really improve my grip strength. This should translate into better perform during strongman contests, which obviously require a ridiculously strong grip. Plus, bigger forearems won't suck.

Here is a great video on how to improve your bench press.
