just added weight as I got tired of counting chains. these were better than last week. 2nd rep was a soft lockout, but I finally figured out how for them to be more explosive.

Probably had more, but called it because I was helping someone else with their Squat and deadlift technique in between. Didn't get a chance to do accessories because of that as well. So, added for tomorrow.

Just working the chest and shoulders. No Triceps. Left shoulder what feels like the labrum, is pissed.

Not happening. No energy...bad technique

2-Board
518 x 1
529 x 1


Bad technique on these 2 as well. Got them, but struggled off the board. No pop from Triceps. Upper back not tight. Minimal leg drive. No more beer the night before heavy bench days. Also, going to look at training volume, and recovery.

Accessories
Light Inc db work
Tricep pulldowns
Shoulder raises

They felt good, and I seriously thought about dropping down and repping out like the week before, but didn't. Turns out, going that heavy Thursday was probably my issue that caused me to have a shitty Sunday. I just got to be smarter.

Man ir sucks battling yourself over things like that. I struggle with it a lot. I just keep telling myself to trust the process

Trying to figure out the process and when and where to push. cns got pretty wrecked Sunday before. So, compound Thursday and the following Sunday didn't really do me any favors. It's just figuring shit out at this point.

Ultimate goal was to hit 551 to a 2-Board. Once I hit it, I knew I had more. So, dropped the weight and down to a 1-Board and worked back up.

Sunday to today. Had week off last week dealing with career progression, and shit. Got past that, and back to the gym. Need to make more time for accessories. Also, poly sucks. I'm definitely enjoying the Unlimited stuff way more.

Knee issue is affecting my setup and leg drive. Shoulder is a bitch all week except when I bench. Arm numbness is pretty common at times, and forearm pain is on strong, but hey, got another pr. Working more reps at %'s to build off of what I have at the moment.

I'll have to do my accessories tomorrow as I was assisting my partner with his Squats and deads for his upcoming meet. I've been slacking on accessories and conditioning...so easy to.

Not a fan of doing it this way. I'll go back to working up in straight weight first. Then, adding chains.

Accessory work from last week and 2nd Bench day. Shoulder took a beating, so enter the bamboo work. It's been working decent overall. Shoulder isn't as bad as before, but it still goes numb every now and then doing these.
