Recap
Bench felt really good, I think I was a little fatigued from the previous days double pause bench but other than that I felt pretty damn good. Paused squats are alot easier when your hip doesn't feel like it's gonna rip out of the socket (who would've thought), I still suck at floor presses... The end

It's weird, you'd think floor presses would be easier. I find them harder than regular bench, too. Of course doing 15x2 comp bench first doesn't help any.

Anyway, nice work on everything. I've got the same session tomorrow.

I guess it's a strength for some people, the way I see it is that if I'm weak at something it's going to make me work harder to try and be stronger/better at it. And ultimately the less weaknesses you have the better you will be all around, right?

Haha have fun tomorrow bro.

Meet prep is off to a great start so far, no pain anywhere and feel like I'm finally 100%. If all goes well throughout prep I think Ill be on my to hitting some huge PRs.

 

[TenaciousA]

Niiiice. PR >>> Pokemon.

 

[ChrisLindsay9]

Your training has been on freakin' point, 3M. There's no way you're not crushing PRs at your next meet. Just keep up that pre-workout/post-workout recovery/rehab.

 

[UncleAl]

Wow! You are tearing it up, big guy!!!

After my PR on squat, the rest of my training week fell to shit. I tried benching, and it just didnt feel right something in my left shoulder is causing some tightness throughout and into my pec, so when I go heavy I cant seem to stay tight and my elbows flare out. I've been doing some rehab stuff, like internal and external rotations for the rotator cuffs, and using the lax ball to release some tightness in my traps and in my shoulders. Its feeling a little better but I just need to be patient. I overshot my rpe and went for a paused triple which would of been a PR of 335. The first rep flew up, but on the second rep my elbows flared out and I couldnt recover, I ended up grinding the rep out but it was ugly. Super disappointed with the way my bench has been going lately, I honestly thought bench was my best lift going into my last 2 comps but I was way wrong.

Then on Thursday I tried deadlifting and I just couldn't focus, I don't even know where my head was at but I still tried to deadlift, I went for 515x5 which would have been a PR but failed on the 5th rep, which again just pissed me off because I knew that if I was focused and ready to train that 515 would have flown up for all 5 of those reps. I ended up dropping down to 495x5, then a rep drop @2x3.


This coming week is a clean slate and Ill be ready to go back to work. I'm supposed to train with SAD and Beedeezy this week too so maybe having some strong training partners will help push me.

I'm a great hype man, I will be screaming at you and maybe even throw chalk dust in your eyes to give you an epi spike.
You're welcome in advance for the new PR.

 

[Yomo]

lmao, well I guess I should thank you then. Although I am one of those people that drowns everything around me out before a lift. Its funny because I always record my lifts and people at my gym always seem to be amazed and clap afterwards and I never hear it until after I watch the video later.

Thanks Yomo. Thats exactly what I'm gonna do, Im starting this week with a blank slate. I already know its going to be a good week.

 

[UncleAl]

You know you're gonna have some bad days, so don't get frustrated. I'm sure the session with your pals will motivate you and get you back on track.
