Today was my first day ever doing bench press with the bands. It was easy and probably could have used more weight on the bar. My shoulders don't anyway like me benching so I erred on the light side.
The EDT set kicked my butt. Overhead pressing is a weakness of mine, I think my 6'6'' wing span doesn't help. I went with the Bent Over Rows to help condition the lower back for picking up heavy objects off the ground in strongman.
The Tabata Situps are great because I don't like doing ab work (its boring to me and so very rarely gets done). This gets them over fast and conditions them for fast, intense work.
The band curls and extensions were to shore up some weaknesses and I didn't have much energy for anything else.
Wednesday is a rest and stretching day. It will be very much welcomed.
