Max effort bench on Thursday was different. We went with a super narrow grip that I'm not really used to, but I pushed through and got some good hard lifts in. Chris is a great training partner and coach! Instead of filling your head with tons of info, he'll give you one or two little things to work on with each lift until the big picture comes together. When I'm pushing as much weight as I can and feel like that embolism might burst, thinking a lot is something I don't want to do a lot of.
Things got crappy for me when we were doing overhead lockouts. Between our shrug warm-up and pressing, my traps and levator scapulae just had enough. With 185 on the bar, my whole upper back felt like someone tasered me. Disappointed in myself, I cut the workout short and our massage therapist Joann took care of me. A few days later, it's still a bit uncomfortable but I'm good to go for max effort squat in a few hours from now.
While I was writing this, I got a phone call from Kelly about my food intake. She sent me a fantastic shopping list and food plan for this week which I'm pretty excited about. Also, she suggested I get some more papaya into my diet. She tells me papaya is a natural anti-inflammatory. Useful and delicious!
