USAWA A.1 Alternate Grip Bench Press

Thursday, December 8, 2022

Home Gym

1700

Warm Up

EMOM - 10

1 pull up + 5 push -up

Alternate Grip Bench Press

5x45
5x65
3x85
3x95
1x105#

This felt really sketchy to me, but always good to try new things.


My intent is to walk through all of the USAWA lifts.
  • (A) 48 Bar Lifts - Presses, Snatches, Cleans, Jerks
  • (B) 19 Bar Lifts - Deadlifts
  • (C) 9 Bar Lifts - Squats
  • (D) 28 Bar Lifts - Misc
  • (E) 21 Dumbbell Lifts
  • (F) 13 Fulton Bar (2" Bar) Lifts
  • (G) 5 Heavy Lifts
  • (H) 14 Old-Time Strongman Lifts
  • (I) 30 Special Equipment Lifts
That is 187 unique lifts.  I will have to get through 125, before needing a Fulton Bar and I will probably just use an axle bar.  Heavy Lift bar will take some figuring.  If I get far enough into it, I will consider Dinnie Rings and a 2" Vertical Bar.  

I recently came across an active Reddit featuring odd lifts.  I have often clicked on reddits as part of a search, but never signed up.  I may just have to.  December challenge is a dumbbell swing.

Also, I got interested in Gripboard and may have to subscribe to some of their threads.

Fun stuff.
