Notes: I changed my name today…to Matt "The Bench-Machine) McGorry in light of my success today. So apparently my CNS is shit right now and im probably slightly overtrained. I don’t doubt that this is a result of a few things.
#1- Usually I’ll do a high, med, very high, low scheme week by week in terms of volume…I haven’t really been following this
#2- On ME bench last week, I did too much work. Pushed too hard on the board work (apparent from my fucked up elbow last week)
#3- Not doing singles every week and staying below 90% I think fucked with my bench and head. I’m switching back to more of what I was doing before.
But there were 2 things that made my first time lifting at Excel in a few weeks enjoyable
#1- We got 2 new football players lifting with us. One who is an absolute beast (+3x BW squat at 200). Seem like intense guys who will be good to work with
#2- While at the grocery store with EC, the 150lb kid at the checkout counter looked at EC’s 8 dozen eggs and said “Trying to get big?” The response- “something like that”
But the golden nugget of the day came from that same kid at the register who let us in on his secret of superstar fitness- “I eat 3 eggs every mornings. It’s good for boxing” We thanked him for the tip and went on our way.
I’m going to deload pretty much the rest of this week.
