On the topic of Gran Torino, I just finished watching it. I appreciate the recommendation. I loved it.
My favourite line amongst a shit ton of great lines was “I’ll take that as a yes. If I have to come back here, it’s gonna get fuckin’ ugly”.
Bunny, I hope your head is okay and bench went well.

I loved the quote… “You ever met someone that you should never have fucked with… well, that would be me”.
Surprisingly, my head was not too bad Sunday morning, but my body and stomach was another story. You would think I would have learned after all these years, especially after behaving myself for the last couple of months. Oh well, got it out of system… at least until after the meet anyhow… then I’m gonna show those tree huggin’, granola eatin’, beaver kissin’, bark salad eatin’ Columbians how to party… ZZZzzzzzz… lol!
My caloric intake from last night? HA! I don’t even want to try and figure it out. But I can tell you this… everytime my elbow bent, my mouth opened. Strange reflex. Out of curiosity… 20 Budweiser that I drank x 86 calories each (according to the 'net)= 1720 calories… in beer alone. Then throw in the food… snacks… liquor… desserts… more snackie thingies… and that is just what I remember.
I am sure there were some small furry animals and unattended children as well, lol!
So, finally got my ass in gear later in the afternoon, and headed to the gym for glorious bench day. Yay.
JUNE 28TH M.E. BENCH
3 BOARD BENCH
(full r.o.m.)
bar x 1000000000000

PIN PRESS
445 x 3 sets of 3
CLOSE GRIP BENCH WITH BANDS
I twisted the bands to shorten and tighten them and make the movement much more difficult. Must punish myself for my behaviour. Ouch
(feet off the floor)
245x6
245x4
245x4
ROLLING DUMBELL EXTENSIONS
50x7
50x6
50x6
PUSHUPS (on elevated handles thingies)
3 sets to failure with partials and negatives thrown in.
*Pretty good session, I think I sweated out most of the poisons. My triceps were pretty fried after the pin presses and the close grip bench.
I think I am going to move down to heavy triples and doubles for the last couple of bench sessions… and perhaps start moving down from 3 boards to 2 boards and eventually 1 board before testing and the comp. I will check with the “Boss”, see what he thinks.
5 weeks out… getting excited now. Just gotta be patient with this upper lat thing, let it heal… and hopefully get a couple of pull straight d/l workouts in before the comp.
