Bench Monday...

Lets see, moved my bench day to well, International Benchpress day.  So that's Monday.  Anyway, think I'll feel better not doing my deadlifts on the night I do most of my bending/moving around at work.  Benching today felt pretty good.  Good people around so that added to it.  Last heavy night in my shirt before the meet and I was kind of dreading it, but tonight was nice and smooth.  Didn't feel that great going in just because for some reason my bench has suffered so much lately because of the jacked up rib, tonight was surprising.  Went 505 and got it without any real difficultly.  Then decided I'd give one more a go at 515.  Had a friend video it so I could see how it went, made me realize I didn't miss it because of strength, just technique.  My elbows flared a bit about midway through so that's what caused the miss, but just required a light touch by my spotter to complete the lift.  One more speed day and then a deload week before the meet.  So actually looking forward to it now.  I'll deadlift heavy on Thursday.  Then start thinking about my openers, second, and final attempts at the meet.
