Tried to deadlift on Monday, after about 5 days of no pain whatsoever in my hamstring and 100 reps a day of 95 pounds, and at 380ish (kilo plates) I felt a slight sting and immediately shut it down. Zero residual pain since then, but I don't think I'll be deadlifting anything heavy before meet day, which blows.
Benched last night, finally able to test for a good opener. Then light front squatting afterwards.
Flat bench :
Bar x 20
Bar x 10
95 x 5 (first time I've ever made this tiny jump before, and I almost think I liked it...)
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 2
275 x 1
275 x 1
315 x 1 (stupid fast)
345 x 1 (very fast)
365 x 1 (very fast and smooth on video, but felt heavier in my hands than an opener should. Not sure if I'll open here or not.)
Front squats :
Bar x 15
Bar x 10
95 x 8
135 x 8
185 x 8
225 x 8
275 x 8
295 x 8
315 x 8
295 x 8 (Weight moved fast but I just cannot breathe while holding a front squat for 4+ reps, and at this point the gym was closing.)
Awesome day, all in all. Why? Because I did all of the above in Izod Comfort Stretch jeans and a wife beater tank. Why? Because I didn't have a chance to go home and get ready before going to the gym. Why? Because I was at an absolutely smoking hot figure-competitor's house, getting laid and realizing that even after a gut-wrenching divorce, a 9.9/10 will make you forget all about it. Had a blast with this woman and she's literally already made a joke about me being perfect for selective breeding...which MJR and POB and a few others on here know, IS NOT A JOKE TO ME. I'm all about spreading my seed and finding an absolute beast to make a perfect specimen with. This chick is ex college volleyball AND soccer, 5'10", loves lifting, obviously athletic as hell and built like it, and has a high IQ. I'm going to blast some hcg and clomid and drop the boys off to do their work, haha. Kidding, not kidding.
I'm banged up, yes, but you know what? I'm going to this meet to do the absolute best that I can, right now, for me. My training partner is a huge focus of mine as well, because he is healthy and poised to make a stab at top 30 ALL TIME at this meet. Can't fvcking wait.
