Benchamin Franklin W4D4

Finished this morning! That was a LONG session. 25 sets of bench, 10 sets bent rows, and 5 supersets (4 lifts) of cardio. My watch tracked it as 2:18 hr, 1250 cal, 123 avg HR, and 167 max HR. I could've trimmed about 20 minutes off from wrist rehab and added KB swings. However I also cut the rest time from 3min to 90s on the bench sets.

Overall, I just wasn't a fan of this plan. I liked hitting bench everyday; I didn't like the volume though. I feel like the volume on the lifts cause you to not get decent variety. I'm really looking forward to Benchamin Franklin 2. Everyday has bench, but every 3rd day has squat and a bench/deadlift SS.

On week 3 of Clean the House.

My cleans are getting better. Finally starting to go up in weight now. Also my front squats are getting better. Every Monday there are 4x5

Benchamin Franklin 2 - Day 1

This one started strong. Squats, Bench/Deadlift SS, Chins, BB Row/Pushdown/Shrug SS. It hit everything. Having only done Deadlifts twice in the last 2 months, the last 2 sets this morning were heavy! Happy to have these (and squats) officially back in the rotation on a regular basis. Plan is to run this 3 days on and 1 day off.
