Thats damn fine benching, I’d have need four days off to recover from your trip home.
Bench is looking solid. I am very happy that I don’t have to travel, at this point, for my contract.
Yeah, the traveling can wear on you, plus you have to really go the extra mile to get to a gym on the road-- which is always a crap shoot in itself…

Scheduling debacle, so OFF.
To add insult to injury, had a temp cap put on the broken tooth. Have to go back in a month for the real thing. I HATE visiting the dentist. This was actually not painful (took a few Novacaine shots), but the sounds and smells bring back bad memories of a sadistic dentist when I was a kid.
To add insult to insult (or injury to injury) it fucking costs almost $600 even WITH insurance. Faaack!!! Plus, I haven’t been in 3 years so they tagged me for a ‘cleaning’ first thing in the morning (before I have a chance to fly out during a scheduled visit…)

solid benching indeed ,

That is a lot of weight for a chest supported t-bar row. Those are a lot harder for me than the ones from the floor.

The chest supprt T-bars are tough. For me it’s not the weight per se, but just being able to hold the air in and keep the core tight enough to support the row.
I actually skooch up on it and it’s more like an ‘ab supported row’. It’s easier to keep a back arch (ie not rounding forward) and it’s easier (for me) to keep tight rather than on my chest.

its so funny- when someone has a huge bench dead or squat- I notice, but
when I think of a goofy exercise where I use x and they use XXXX Im like Oh shit.
I likethem but they hurt my zyphoid process that is the like chicken chest bone use skinny lil guys have.
and no wonder your so dang big.
you are doing lateral raises with what I use for incline db bp

Posted in TCA “Big Meal” thread:
Crawled out of gym. Wife left a message on celly to meet her and the kids at Chinese place at xx-o’clock.
Took 30 min to get there, the whole way thinking about how I didn’t want to think about food.
Waited 10 more minutes before they got there.
Sat down and sat some time before I could stomach the thought of buffet.
THEN…
Fucking piles of sesame chicken, pork fried rice, steamed rice, spare ribs, teriyaki chicken, pork and vegs, some kind of beef thing, some sort of chicken thing, more rice, egg rolls… ho.ly.fuck…

Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
A little different for a Sunday. Travel tomorrow, so don’t know if I’ll get to gym, so I drove up to the ‘heavy’ gym (not where I normally bench).
w/u
Incl. DB (slightly less incline than usual. Different gym, different bench. About 15 deg vs 30 deg)

100x10
120x10
130x6, x5, x5
DB Floor Press (neut grip mostly)
100x10
110x10, x6, x5, x6
EZ Skull Crusher

I was bummed that the one gym with the nice HS equipment didn’t work out, but I have to say that it’s nice getting to this other gym more. DB’s to 145 and I was missing heavy DB’s in my training. It’s far, but I’m going to try to get there more and just hit the heavy free weight.
ON the road M-W, but got a workout in Tuesday:
Incline Presses x 4 sets x 10-8 reps
SHoulder Press Machine (like HS) x 4 sets x 10-5 reps
BB Curls x 4 sets (high reps)
DB Lat Raise x 3 sets (high reps)
Cable Rope Triceps P/D: 3 sets 15-10 reps
