Inspired by Ronnie Coleman's attitude, if not his intelligence or grammar, I hit the gym Thursday evening for a max effort bench night. I felt tired with the lat pull apart and row warm-ups, but felt great once I started pressing.
Chris marked out my weight progressions for me and I felt like I flew through them. After a 195 single, we jumped to 220...5 pounds above my PB. You don't make friends with salad, and we don't go for the tie when you can set new benchmarks. (Literally and figuratively) Ty spotted me through the unrack, had time to go make a pot of coffee and helped me back in.....it wasn't fast but it went up! So we have a new bench PR. I was jacked!
I found a new favorite exercise in rolling tri extensions! You start on your back with a barbell at arms length and roll it towards your head. Just before you hit your head you snap it up by straightening your arms, then return it to the ground and roll it away again. (Check catalystfitness.ca for the video clip) Lots of fun, after the bench I felt like I should be wearing a helmet for this one!
Kelly has spent a lot of time this week, putting together some great meals for me, and already I feel great and like I've got more energy! I think this part of the project will be the most challenging for me, but I am committed to it!
Today was a rest day and to be honest, the first day my legs felt completely normal since the squat workout on Monday. Good news since tomorrow Ty and I are going to crank up some speed lower body action!
I'll
