When scheme is listed as “3 x 5″, it always refers to “Sets” x “Reps”. Reminder: Position and execution always govern weight. Attentive set-ups and re-sets, and violence of action in each lift. Today: Perform 10 mace 360 (switching L-to-R and top-to-bottom hand evenly) +, and 3 reallllyyyyy slow push-up (patient on the way down, patient on the way up) immediately following each set of bench press, and rest reasonably after the three movements are complete.
