It's been a while since I last tried dumbbell bench pressing, and a few light sets today proved to be just as difficult as I remembered. Probably the reason for their prolonged absence - will have to do something about that.
After a bit of warming up with the dumbells, it was back to the bar for the heavier stuff: close-grip bench presses. Love them. These were partnered with a bit of dipping - primarily to keep the blood flowing around the triceps.
The dumbells were unexpectedly tiring, and the back work which finished the set was, well, somewhat lighter than usual. Looks like another solid night's sleep ahead.
Dumbell bench press 10@11.5kg, 4×8@14kg
Flat bench press (close grip) 2×10@40kg, 4×6@50kg, 2@60kg
Dip 4×10@bw
Bent-over row (reverse/underhand grip) 4×10@50kg, 2×10@60kg
Upright row 2×10@20kg, 10@30kg
Total time : far too long (probably a couple of hours - including training)
