It's Coming Together

Since my last post I've managed to drag my self for training twice. Once in my shirt and once raw. Here is what happened.

Monday 22 Jan 2007

Warm Up Bench - 100kg/6 reps, 120kg/3 reps, 140kg/1 rep.
Put the shirt on.
Shirt Bench (2 boards) - 165kg/ 3 reps, 175kg/1 rep, 182.5kg/1 rep.
Close Grip Bench Press - 100kg/6 reps, 100kg/6 reps.

Wednesday 24 Jan 2007

Warm Up Bench - 135lbs/12 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 275lbs/3 reps, 295/1 rep.
3 Board Bench Press - 315lbs/3 reps, 335lbs/3 reps, 355lbs/1 rep.
Close Grip Bench - 225lbs/6 reps, 245lbs/6 reps.
Lat Pull Downs - 185lbs/6 reps, 210lbs/6 reps, 210lbs/6 reps.
Supported T Bar Rows - 90lbs/6 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 180lbs/6 reps, then back down.

I had some extra time so I played around with some movements I don't normally perform.

Last week I wasn't able to get to the gym for the raw portion of my training. I was a bit bummed out about it and I was considering not competing in the up coming competition (11 Feb). Now I'm more than pumped up! I did some research and found out that the SHW Manitoba Provincial record for the bench press in a three lift competition is 185kg. I am confident that with a bit more of shirt training and working on my tricep strength I can get this record. COOL!!!
