Haha. Sunday was my last day, and I never tried to dance while on it. Damn. Guess I’ll have to wait for next time to see how it affects my dancing ability.

Done. Pretty happy with today for sure. Workout was done practically fasted, I had one banana three hours before the workout, and besides that the only thing I had was water and a caffeine pill. I think I could have gotten the 265 if I hadn’t done all the work sets beforehand.

Jeebus, PRs be everywhere

Haha. That’s the goal.

Not sure if I mentioned, I was benching with a thick bar. Not really sure how that affects bench though. I had it loaded with a plate before I thought about it, then said screw it and didn’t switch bars.

Ok, here are the vids. In order: 215x5, 225x5, 255x1, and 265xfail.

How are the wrist straps working out for you? I was thinking of picking some up. My bench is generally pretty low in terms of weight that it doesn’t really warrant it, but at the same time I do get a bit of tendinitis in my left wrist so I should probably just man up and get some…

I really like wrist wraps. I don’t know what it is, but my wrists have always seemed to be really weak. If I bench or do OH pressing without wrist wraps, my wrists will ache for days. I try to only wear them for BB flat and some tricep lifts though, I don’t want to build up too much of a dependence on them.

nice benching blaze, you’ll get that 265 soon.

rep complete ahhhhhhh yeahhhhh lol

225X5 was a badass set.

Thanks man. 275 is the short term goal. I feel like i could get at least 265 if I didn’t do working sets first.

Lol. Summer school. 8 to 10 week classes, pretty much just a condensed class. A whole fall or spring semester jammed into less time.
