Hoose basically answerred as I would. Supersetting your main lifts is not a great way to workout if you were going for pure strength gains.

How tall is your Bench? I have two and both are different heights. This puts us back to stuward's post.JoeB wrote:What would be a good number to put up when using a flat bench?

Came down with something on Wednesday. Ended up being Strep. Still under the weather. Fever, Sore throat, Aches, etc.. Should have started the Deload week on Wednesday, so I'm not really missing much, but feel like I'm getting weaker. That's probably because I'm not eating much, but trying to drink ...
