I used 95lbs. Wasn't terrible. I'll probably slowly add to it.

Close-grip bench press mistakes
Follow this guide and start off light then work your way up

I used 145lbs for the last of arm farm which was 13 reps, so uh a lot lighter than that for me maybe 40% bench max to start? Would be 105 for me I think.
//edit done with Day1. Felt like a lot more classic strength training for first half due to no supersets and a lot of sets of bench and Yates rows. Then the front/rear laterals kicked my arse (used 15s) and the tricep pushdown/ Zottman cardio destroyed my whole arms (used 20s on the zottmans and my arms feel like some bratwursts popping out the casing).

This program seems like it’s going to challenge us. We are gonna get JACKED this month

W1D4 today and it looks like I will be adding some serious weight onto my bench by the end of this program, maybe not quite to 400 but its going way up.

I’ll be happy with 180. 
160x4 is current best. Using 185 as training max.

As the kids say, it's been "low key" tough so far.

W1d2 done. Did everyone superset the barbell curls with the behind the back roll ups? I did empty bar for the roll ups and it is a pump on places I did not realize I had muscles.

I haven't been doing super sets with the cardio. I think I did day 1 and then realized it didn't say to super set.
Posted on 12/6/22 at 6:05 pm to Canuck Tiger
W1D4 done,tough for me. I've been supersetting out of habit.

It didn’t say NOT to superset them either, and the cardio and grip circuits are conveniently both 5 sets every workout
Posted on 12/6/22 at 6:57 pm to Canuck Tiger
I did a superset yesterday. Today is undecided.
Posted on 12/6/22 at 7:29 pm to Canuck Tiger
Super setting today.
Almost done with W1D2. These wrist rollups are brutal.
Forearms are toast! Only got 15 on the last set.

so not sure how yall were doing these rollups, but i was letting it roll all the way down to my fingertips and was SS with the curls. about half way through the 4th set i could no longer hold the barbell on the rollups due to grip and forearms being 100% done. i was able to finish 4th set breaking it into 2 reps at a time, but there was no way i could do a 4th so i called it a night.
the grip circuits/cardio are by fat the hardest thing in this program IMO, like not even close.
