Bench Press Update

I'm pretty proud of myself - I've stuck with my bench press schedule since I started! Here is where I'm at:

SetsReps Weight
Week 15450
5355
Week 24455
5455
Week 3 5360
4460
Week 45460
5365
Week 54465
5465
Week 65370
4470
Week 75
5
4
3
70
75



The blacked-out rows are what I have already done - so I'm 2.5 weeks in. I was dubious when I went up to 60 pounds yesterday, but I haven't been sore from it today, so maybe the next set will be easier. 50lb was pretty easy, so going to 55lb wasn't bad, but I started feeling the struggle at 60lb.

In more tangible terms, my upper arms have grown 1/4 of an inch! I don't think they'll get bulky (I actually prefer that they don't), but this has been great for muscle toning and I can really tell a difference.

So thanks for tracking with me! I'm a little unsure about my ability to keep with the schedule, especially around 70lb, but I have a little time before I get there and I can add an extra week if necessary. We'll see!
