Week 6 results

Week 6 was a very important week. Unfortunately, this is the point where I started failing at the work out.

The work out starts with lifting 265 pounds 3 times. I've never done this before as my max bench press was 265 or 270. The first lift is okay. The second lift needed a little spotter assist. The third lift was mostly dependent on the spotter. I would not have been able to lift the third rep without a spotter.

This was a pretty big downer but I had to keep going in order to see how effective this plan is. Even if I can't lift the 300 pounds, the plan is somewhat effective if my bench increases past 270. By the end of the week, I could lift 265 twice but still needed spotter assist with the third rep. Week 6, 7, and 9 has you lifting 265 3 times so I still have time to get it right.

The rest of the routine is easy. I was able to complete 235 at 4, 205 at 6, and 175 at 8.
Incline was 155 at 7, 145 at 5, 135 at 4.
Bar Dips was 50 pounds attached at 9, 25 pounds attached at 8, and body weight at 3.
Dumbbell flies 60 at 5, 45 at 7, 30 at 10.

Tomorrow starts week 7. Week 7 is mostly the same as week 6. The only notable change is some of the weight for incline increases.
