Bar weight was 515
2 chains X 1 off 2 board
4 chains X 1 off 2 board
6 chains X 1 off 2 board
7 chains X 2 misses off 1 board. Th first miss was way off, but the second was close to lockout.

Finally ound a shirt

So after having my shirt on order for 5+ weeks (and still not here) I found someone nice enough to let me borrow their phenom shirt.
chain bench with a bar weight of 455 (70 % o my 650 meet bench goal)
4 Chains per side X 1 off 3 board
6 chains per side X 1 of 2 board
8 chains per side X 1 off 2 board (actually got misloaded on one side, but it still went up)
9 chains per side X 1 of 2 board. 700 + up top with chains. feeling heavy but still manageable.

kb triceps ext: all sets were 10 reps: 12,16,20,24,28 kilo
db rows: 115 lbs X 3 sets of 10 per arm.

Next week it is 80% of the goal bench (~525 in barweight) then chains go on. Looking forward to these upcoming weeks o pain and heavy weights.

The Russians are coming!

We did russians with the buf bar tonight
555 X 5,
595 X 3
685 X 3
775 X 3 Knee Wraps
595 X 5

Reverse Hypers: 700 X 2 sets of 15

Squats felt pretty good tonight. I took the 775 just below parallel and it felt good still so I am ok with that. Should have gone 825, but I guess I will save that for another day.

It has been a while

Laborday Fiasco:
Benched on laborday but didnt have a shirt that fit so it was a wash. The highlight was a 585 for an ugly single off a 3 board.

stretching and foam rolling and I was done

Saturday deads: We used the squat bar with chains
Bar weight was 555
1 chain X 1
2 Chains X 1
3 chains X 1

DB Press: 90's X 4 sets of 10
Band triceps ext: 4 sets of 15
DB overhead press: 2 sets of 10
Band face pulls: 3 sets of 20
