Well....shit ass week. Havent hooped at all this month and new rec league starts up next week thats supposed to be quite competitive. Probably play my way into skill shapeby the 3rd week or so. Took Sunday and Monday off earlier this week to recover fully and that stretched into a full on cheat week.
Ate like crap, didnt lift from Sunday to Saturday....gained 8 lbs lol!
Went to the gym yesterday remotivated to get shit done, figured I'd gained a few pounds bit definitely not 8! Should come off quick tho if i eat right. Anyway, was going to deadlift but they have a sign up about a pound for pound bench comp at the gym on the 4th soooo....I figured id see where i was and if i was worth it. Basically a max effort bench day which i havent done in...wow...over a year.
Weighed in at 187lbs. Benched 95 x10, 135 x8, 185 x5 to warmup then started going up on singles. 225 no sweat but i knew that (figured id top out around 265-275). 255...actually moved ok. Cool. 275lbs... slight struggle but never felt like i wouldn't make it. Awesome. So....i loaded up 295lbs, managed to get it but it was tough. Doesnt matter thats a PR and i was surprised as hell! So goal is to try to get 315 at the comp at around 182lbs BW. And also get my legs and stuff back of course
Im excited again and thats a wonderful thing!!!
