Yesterday I held my Thanksgiving early because I had the night shift to work on the actual Thanksgiving day. Not good considering I was looking forward to my first DE BENCH day on Thursday (today). Reason being: Me and three brothers-in-law polished off about 70 beers between us in a span of 5 hours. I myself must've had about 15 or so. I haven't drank like that in quite a while, not since the wedding I attended about a month ago.
That leads me into today's workout. I felt pretty hung over to say the fucking least. Still lacked some coordination and keeping my balance walking around. But, I did TRY to go to the gym..
DE BENCH: Used my light bands and choked them around the bottom of the cage and a 45 lb DB per side. 205 lbs for 9 x 3. I was still pretty fast considering my condition. I was sweating like a motherfucker though.
Next up was standing OHP's which was a waste of time seeing that I didn't have very good balance. I started off after warmups with 205 to see how that felt. I made it to 3 reps before I realized that I wasn't feeling very safe. The weight was easy as hell, powered it up good. I just didn't have a good sense of balance and my feet were shuffling around to keep me from moving backwards.
At this point I figure the only exercises I'll be able to do are the ones that don't overexert myself.. So I went for incline DB presses. Felt better with these. 105's for 2 x 10. I seemed to lack explosiveness with these. The reps were all super slow.
Skipped weighted pullups and went for the easier pulldowns. I started feeling pretty sick at this point, so I thought it best to cut my losses and stay with working my vertical pulls. Did a few sets of 10 with 240 lbs. I also did one set of ten chest-supported rows (I don't know why) which put me over the edge and I had to go home.
So not a TOTAL loss, but I wished I still got in a lot of triceps extensions in to get me ready for Sunday's close grip ME exercise. I think I'm one of the only people who would go into the gym feeling the way I felt.... AWFUL!
