Friday was just a really fun day in the gym. It was my first time seeing Sue Thompson since she got back from her 4th place finish athWorlds, so it was great to catch up. I felt like a real ass when I realized my current coach competed as well, and I didn't even wish him luck. Sue said he didn't have his best day, and I know I don't like being reminded after a disapointing day.
I benched with Megan, as we had to go in early to make a dinner later. She just has freaky dealy bench form, and it really makes her a total package of a lifter. Great squat, and even better deadlift along with a great bench is pretty deadly.
Marks program to start feels fairly light right now, which I hope is a good sign, at least on bench. I went:
264 for 4 sets of 4
- last set, I did 6, and felt like 7 I had 7 and 8 for sure... Last time I was moving these weights around I was 235 and hit a 363 in competition. I'd really like to hit 350, which is just small continuing progress from meet to meet.
Close grip
220 5x5
-did 10 on the last set, just to see
Dumbell flys
35 10x5
- haven't done these in a looooong time, But i feel like they're going to be a help keeping me healthy.
I also did a few sets of facepulls
-Took the weekend off, which hasn't happened in a while
Monday - light squat nightmare
-Trained early, when I typically train after a full day of water and food, made the mistake of loosening my belt a notch, as it was too tight the other night... i moved it back later to the oringinal position, and it was still loose.
Went up to 415 for a planned 3 sets of 4
1st set - was all over the place, and twisting, 3rd rep racked it
2nd set - after 1st rep, racked
3rd set - did 2 twisting reps again with a lower bar position
Tried to get my head back into things, but just wasn't my day, so I left, and plan to redo this workout tomorrow.
