Military DB Press: (3 sets of 8) 1x22.5kg, 1x20kg, 1x17.5kg
two compounds being superset together.
Type 2 fibers need a lot more recovery time then type 1. Thats why with bench press its hard to get the same amount of reps out each set unless you have a good rest time. Compared with say calves where they are dominately type 1, where rest times can be shortened.
Im having great progress with with starting at 5 reps and working my way up to 8 reps, then putting on more weight. After 8 weeks of that i do reps from 3-5 but for 3 weeks.
Hence 2 weeks ago i was bench 5 reps of 90kg and yesterday i benched 8 reps of 90kg, that was after being plateaued from doing 100kg 2-3 reps for about 3 months.
