Incline Bench Press
75(5)/80(5)/85(5)/90(3)/95(3)/95(3)
After some good advice from Bryan I felt pretty strong on last set…and my reps were cleaner…nicer…next time 100# x 3…
Chatted too much…didn’t have time for wod…back to the box tonight…
Nic those are some seriously good numbers for incline…way to go…
My legs are trashed, thanks for changing up the WOD
Incline bench (incline bench??? at crossfit??)
65×5, 70×5, 80×5, 85×3, 90×3, 95×2 failed on the last rep
WOD 12:56
60# press (Rx) for 17 total reps and 45# KB
@tapout
Those numbers sure beat what we used to do at Sportex! We used to get excited if we added ANY weight to the 45# bar…at least I did! I’m anxious to see what my max is tonight.
@brendan
Won’t get much complaint for me switching bench in for legs! It was a sweet workout! That 75lb kettle swing was a beast though.
MEEEE TOoooo…I was thinking of that…wish I had been a “logger” back then…to see what the numbers were…maybe we could beat Gail now on the bench…hee hee jk…
Nat…note that your incline bench numbers likely won’t be as high as flat bench…@Sunshine
Had trouble on the bench press this morning. Shoulder wasn’t having it so did push press instead. Can’t remember now if I got to 60 or 65 – somewhere in there!
Since I am still building on the shoulder strength I went with light weight today for the wod.
25# for 55 reps. 30 kb managed all sets unbroken. Time was 11:??
@tapout
I didn’t realize incline bench was harder than flat…thanks for pointing it out.
Good shoulder burn on this wod, ‘pushing’ is a weakest link for me so i’m glad when it comes up.
Did 85# x 3 for incline bench…failed at 90#
Wod was 9:??
55# for the Press, 26 reps
45# KB (unbroken, should have gone heavier)
…was an all around gud day at the box for me today…
wod RX’d @ 9:20
I surprised myself with all unbroken…
oooops…forgot to write…31 reps
I hate that big fat ugly kettlebell….my lower back is trashed…
E.
Incline bench to 205# for 3
WOD: 10:08. Used 100# for press. 32 reps total
I was happy with all unbroken KB with 75#
Went to Big Island CF in Hilo today!
We did “CF Total” only 3 attempts
Back Squat 105# 1rm
Press 60# 1rm
Deadlift 155# 1rm ugly but got it up
