Powerlifting - Heavy Bench
Thursday - 7/20/07

I had a pretty long day... having to get up 2 hours earlier than normal for a pretty big job we had for a local HS. I felt pretty drained going into the gym from the day's work, and it wasn't a max day, since we did that last week... it was a heavy work day.

Bench - bar warm-up, 95x12, 135x10, 135x6, 185x5, 235x4, 285x2... put on my bench shirt, 385x2, 420x1... the 420 felt good, a little slow for me, but i'm content. i thought about a 2nd rep, but didn't want to push it. we're doing our openers for the meet next thursday.

Bench w/chains - 225+1 set of chains x2, 225+2 sets x2, 225+3 sets x2

close grip bench - 225x3, 245x3, 265x3

bent over dumbell rear delt - 20x8x3 sets

Tri pushdowns v-bar - 90x10x4, 100x10

i still feel pretty drained, but considering today's work schedule, the training was still good. one more week of training left, a week off and then i'm in chicago competing....
