I need to figure out a way to stay more consistent on the bench press. Training is always consistent and I never seemed to have an “off” day. However, when I get to the meet, my bench turns to shit.
Regardless, back to training. I took a week off to figure out training and diet for the next year. I decided on trying out the juggernaut method which I started on 4/21/14 after taking a week off. I am excited to see what next year holds at nationals and the numbers that I want to put up.
