Tuesday - light bench

Did enough of a warm up to be able to arch... I've done my best to stop stretching... not sure where the no stretching or warm up thing is going... but basically, if something is spasming and in really bad shape I'll take care of it... if it just hurts, I let it stay tight. This is I think just a part of the process, and helps to keep you healthy... sounds weird... but I'm going with it. There's being strong... then there's peaking to the point where stairs give you an anxiety attack because your knees hurt so bad... that's a good place to be heading into a meet.

Bench
255 for 3 sets of 4 reps
- light and easy as they should be, right shoulder not feeling super happy

floor press lockouts
345 3 sets of 4
- trap and shoulder felt like they were going to rip right off the bone. I'm really bad at lockouts, so I can use the work.

Dumbell flys
35 for 5 sets of 10
face pulls - couple sets

After the bad workout yesterday... I was pissed for a bit, ran through a couple hundred things that it could have been, but after a half hour, I was pretty chilled out. I'm a little frustrated because I wanted to just jump right into where I was supposed to be at right now, instead of just starting at the beginning... That was my big mistake... I've taken a few weeks to go light and let things heal, now I'm a ton looser, and I just need to start over, stay patient, not rush things, and just let it happen. Worst case, maybe I won't go for a huge squat at the next meet in December, and I'll focus on my bench and pull... Either way, rushing things is where I get into trouble, and I just need to keep my head and let it happen.
