I get personal, I get wordy.

Today was international bench day, aka Monday.  ...So, I've loaded two games and closed them putting off trying to decide if I wanted to add something personal to this one.  I'm still not sure.  I might just type a lot before posting numbers then end up deleting it.  We'll see.  I usually start these things about the time the 11 o'clock news comes on, so sometimes they bleed over into the next day depending on what I'm doing.  These two days aren't a particularly good couple of days.  Hell, I don't know why I'm even typing this stuff up, I'm almost positive no one reads this stuff. Two years ago I was getting ready for a meet in Manchester TN.  It was the last time I saw someone in person.  On my lunch break we sat in the truck, talking about the meet, just general stuff, nothing seemed particularly odd, things actually seemed pretty good that day, which was nice.  Talking about how beat up I was, how I was nervous about the fact I'd missed my bench on my last heavy day and that was making me rethink all my lifts.  As my lunch break was nearing the end I was like "Well, I'd better get back in here before someone misses me."  As I started to get out of the truck, she grabbed my arm, pulled me back, kissed me, and said something like "You'll do great, plus when you get back and rested up we've got plans."  The next day at the meet I had finished my bench and was eating some pb&j before I got suited up for my deadlifts and my phone rang from work.  I walked outside and called back something happened at work, I won't go into details, but it wasn't something good.  That Friday was the last time I ever saw her.  Really, it didn't even hit me till I had some plans today that got canceled. I'd still like to know why.  That's all...


Okay, gym today.  Me and Chris both felt like shit this morning, I was running late, he was running on very little sleep.  Warming up with the bar even felt heavy, so naturally, great fucking day.  He even went up a bit which was nice.  So lets get to some numbers...

Full Boar Singshot bench       8x2   315, 315, 335, 335, 345, 345, 365, 365.  On the 365s on my first rep I did about a 1-2 sec pause on my chest and still threw it up.
Handle Triceps Pressdowns   4x15,  42, 47, 52, 67
Grenade Triceps Presses        3x8   30 pound
Pec Deck Burnout                  130   40 reps


Okay, I think I'll post this as is... but probably change the title...
