Frank almost let me die on that last set of inclined presses. OK, die may be a bit strong, but he did let me struggle a little before he stepped in and spotted me. My right arm just completely gave out on that last push. Me laughing uncontrollably at myself as my arm turned to a limp noodle also didn't help, but I'm placing all the blame squarely on Frank.
We decided that instead of switching off between sets on the flat bench, I would just do all of my sets and then he would work on his. The whole point of the 12 sets of 3 is to maintain a relatively quick pace. If we're switching off and adding and subtracting plates for each of our lifts, it kind of defeats the purpose. It seemed to work out well tonight so we'll probably keep doing it this way.
Frank has decided that this particular program isn't to his liking so we may be diverging in our training a little. We'll keep it as similar as we can, just so our sessions are streamlined and uncomplicated but his sets/reps probably won't be staying the same as mine, which is fine. We're not conjoined twins so there's no need to do everything the same.
My back has been sore beyond belief since Monday. Not sore in an injured sort of way, just muscle soreness, right in the middle. During the night, while I'm sleeping, it tightens up so bad that it's been difficult to move. I don't know exactly what the hell caused this DOMS, but it was killer. It's starting to feel better though, so that's good. My legs were also in agony after Tuesday. Luckily they're starting to feel better, just in time for leg day again, insert massive eye roll.
