Quit early, skipped reps and accessory work.
-Sleeping on a couch and eating like a bird, don’t lead to PR’s!
*Instead of using a power rack for my heavy bench work, I had to use a regular bench for my first two heavy sets.
The only power rack at my gym was occupied by a dude who was “doing cleans”. God only knows why he needed the power rack, seeing as he wasn’t even doing hang cleans! He was “cleaning” between 95-135 pounds, taking the bar off of the rack, setting the bar on the ground and then preceding to do five or six “cleans”.
Honestly, this particular instance was worse than “power rack curls”, as the lifter was lifting the weight out of the rack and then placing it on the ground, then “cleaning”. He could have simply put the barbell on the ground starting off.
