ME Bench Day
OK I am tired I need to back off a bit I think, I have been SFW for about 8 weeks straight I think and its catching up with my bench. Everything feels heavy in my hands. Anyways tried some 2 board work to see if things got better but they didn’t so I shut it down. Did a little push pressing and called it a day. Weird that all my lowerbody lifts are still going nuts but bench only seems to be stalling. Oh well I’ll take a big squat and pull over a bench anyday!
ME Bench Day 5/5/10
2 Board
1x1 100kg
1x2 102.5kg
1x1 105kg
Push Press
1x8+4+4 40kg (wow these have taken a hit)
1x1 Coke and a smile and hit the couch with the kids.

DE Squat Day
Another kick ass lower day, a few hiccups but went awesome. Squatted vs a blue band choked up tight. Used 100kg for my sets then worked up a bit. I think I hit a PR with the bands this choked tight. Tried GMs next glutes weren’t having it so I tried split squats, no dice. So I finally decoded on super wide zercher box squats for reps. These a re great. Finished with some situps. Feeling sore time for a small cruise I think.
DE Squat Day 7/5/10
Box Squat vs blue Band
1x2 90kg
6-7x2 100kg
1x1 110kg
2x1 115kg (PR)

So I woulda kept going with the squats but didn’t have any safety racks cos the bands get in the way. Good workout tho

Thx J I am addicted!
ME Bench Day
Decided to bench today and rest this strained glute till Friday or so. Anyways I worked out why my bench has no power anymore. I have not been gripping the bar correctly. Its funny the simpleset things we forget to do and how much they cost you. That is now sorted, although my leg drive is pitiful, I still have issues on the bench press, I will be working very hard to correct. So enough rambling, I worked up with the idea of hitting a heavy double but was feeling too good so I went after a PR, missed the bitch by about 2 inches. Real frustrating. Did a bunch of 3 board doubles after which were way heavier than they shoulda been. I have negelected my lockout too much lately. Anyways finished with some barbell rows. Pretty good day, I have some weakpoints I have discovered so its time to go to work.

Glute/ham wasn’t having GMs next, I am getting frustrated cos it felt fine all through box squats, so I hit my abs hard and did a buttload of RHs.I need to get this pain away, I have to get back to some split squats and GMs those 2 exercises build my squat like nothing else.
