30 min elliptical
evening weigh 274, down from 283.5 a couple of weeks ago
felt whiped today, after last couple of hectic weeks with the meet, wife out of town, me out of town, then work going from snails pace to being busier than a one armed wall paper hanger. alarm was set to go and bench normally in the a.m.; hit the snooze 3 or 4 times, got up, texted that I wasn’t gonna make it, then went back to bed for a couple of hours
slowly meandered into the commercial gym later in the day and did the following:
rev grip bench 45/95/135/185/225/275/295 x 10. long time since doing these, and no pain at that weight anyway. keep these in rotation
dbell bench 60s/80s/100s x 10, 3 x 8 w/120s
hammer strength high row 5 x 10
low pulley crossover 5 x 12
face pulls 5 x 12
pressdowns 5 x 15
decent amount of work gotten in with little to no pain. onward and upwards

i actually got into reverse grip benching when i tore my pec once. i found that it was the one full ROM bench variation i could do without pain.

I have access to a plethora of football bars, but no swiss bars. thothose are the ones at an aangle, right?

they are the ones that allow you to press with a neutral grip.

25 minutes intervals on stepper
effen kicked my ass
need to up intensity and frequency of hard conditioning for the next couple of months. which is fine, I like it better than steady state crap. need more prowler, intervals, sledge hammer swings, shit like that.

old punk rock friends from back in the day in from London, NYC, Boston, Australia, meant Saturday and Sunday were basically one long bender. scraped my ass out of bed, went to work then to Los Campeones to continue my sumo experiment. 100 degree weather and high humidity did not help this situation or this session in the least, but it did help me sweat out enough Maker’s Mark and Stella to get back to ‘normal’
