This was my last heavy bench. I’ll hit my opener next week and work on stuff off the chest. I’m feeling pretty good at this point. 330 was a bit of a struggle today, but I guess it should be.

It looks overcast in places. As you said, fog.

This morning is better than it has been. We have two pretty big fires in our county.

Looking good- you got your attempts dialed in yet ??

Yes. I’ll hit my bench opener tomorrow. Then it’s cardio and stretching.

I was sweating like crazy, but it felt good. Six days to go.

On a side note, there is a new guy on the weekends. He’s been coming for the last three weeks. I’m not sure what he deal is, but I’m supposed to be the only older big, bald guy with a beard and lifts heavy. I’m not sure where he came from, but he’s on my turf. :grinning:
