I walked out of there today with an awful lack of confidence in my bench. My touch and power were awful. I was getting some coaching from the owner that I wished I had months ago. Hopefully just an off day, but I’ll need to work on that a couple times this week I think. Not gonna do any deads till Sunday(light openers), so, I should have the time.
The numbers look ok, DZ, compared to last weeks session. What was up?
I hate days like that. Put it behind you and hit again next time.
I was looking back at the beginning of your log DZ, numbers look good all the way back to then. I suspect the good coaching maybe had you over-thinking the lifts a bit…
Now if you were a eastern NC redneck, no one would accuse you of thinking, much less over-thinking…

I haven’t really been training my pause as I should be I guess. Benching 250 is one thing, but doing it with a full second or two pause at the bottom is something completely different. I dropped back down to 225 and everything was fine. I got 242 at the last meet.
I feel your trepidation. I waited too long to train full-range paused benching.
But if you got it for a triple, I’m sure you can get it for one with a pause - especially with meet adrenaline running.
I’m planning on arching til I hurt to get the second attempt.
Yea…I’m sure you’re right Skid.
A little GPP today

DZ, you sound a little discouraged lately. I hope every thing is OK.

It’s all good eco, thanks for asking Bro. I do get discouraged with my bench press sometimes. I feel like I should be doing better than I am.

Thanks Guys! I’ll work on that one more time this week. A week off of heavy lifting will do me some good and I’ll be ready for some fun next weekend.

I’d be shocked to hear otherwise. Besides satisfied people get lazy and we all know there that leads. I hear you Bro, now you have to get that shit out of your head. You are the product of some serious hard work, go and flaunt it.
The best you can give, have fun Bro.
Thanks Streamline!

That’s it for today. One more workout on Sunday with the gang that’s going to the meet. Turns out there’s only four of us going, but that’s OK. The owner of the gym is going, and he’s gonna open up on Sunday just for us to work up to our openers one last time, then it’s rest and and recoup for the week.
Good luck to you and your gang DZ. Kill some weights!
Put up some good weights and enjoy.
Thanks guys!

That was it, nobody did any deads, that’s OK I guess. Won’t do much of anything this week. Some light tris and bis, and light leg stuff, that’s about all.
Nice openers DZ! Have some fun this week and at your meet.
