Bench Press
Still feeling things out. Still feel the need to move iron.
Stretching.
Bench Press - 135lbs/12, 12 reps, 225lbs/8, 10, 10 reps, 315lbs/1, 1, 2, 1, 1 reps.
Bench Press (with Titan RAM) - 315lbs/5, 6, 6 reps.
Concentration Curls - 35lbs/8 , 8 reps.
OH Triceps Extensions - 35lbs/8, 8 reps.
A fun work out after a nice walk with my lovely wife and kids. I am working out with squat stands and don't have spotting arms for bench press. That said I keep the weights manageable so I don't get stuck or hurt. S. M. R. T.

New House = New Home Gym
The move to Winnipeg is complete and I have set up my home gym. It isn't exactly the way I want it but it will do for now.
Bench Press
Bench Press - 135lbs/12 reps, 135lbs/12 reps, 225lbs/8, 10, 10 reps, 315lbs/1, 1, 1 rep.
Squats
Leg Swings and Stretching.

Not too difficult but considering all that's been going on with the move these were good work outs. I start work tomorrow evening and will work out at the base a few times.

Bench Press
Today was my last training day at the 14 Wing Powerhouse. Turned out to be pretty good.
Warm Up
Leg Swings and Stretching.
Bench Press - 135lbs/12 reps, 225lbs/8 reps, 315lbs/6 reps.
Power Phase
Bench Press - 337lbs/2 reps, 365lbs/1 rep, 365lbs/1 rep.
Bench Press (with Titan RAM) - 365lbs/5 reps, 385lbs/3 reps, 405lbs/2 reps.
Pump Phase
Bench Press (with Titan RAM) - 315lbs/8 reps.
I am really enjoying benching with the RAM. Now I am forced into a break. We are moving to Winnipeg and it will be around 2 weeks before I will be into a gym again. I will bring my lifting gear and maybe I will get lucky on route and find a gym. I know in Minneapolis there is an awesome gym call "The Gym".
Here is the video of the 405lbs/2 reps with the Titan RAM.

Keeping Busy
With the move to Winnipeg happening next week I am very busy getting everything ready. Doing some light unorganized training is keeping me calm.
Warm Up
Leg Swings and Lots of Stretching.
Squats - bar/10 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 4 sets/1 rep/300lbs.
Deadlifts - 315lbs/6 reps, 315lbs/6 reps, 405lbs/3 reps, 495lbs/2 reps.
Not too thrilling but at least I got to play with the iron. I'm not sure but today may have been my last day training at the 14 Wing Powerhouse. I had the honor of training with Michael Young today. At 17 years old, 6'2", and 205lbs he is one of the best squatters I have ever seen. He has been training on his own and is looking for a coach. Damn! My timing sucks. Training him would be great. Too bad I am leaving. Pay attention to his name you will see it again I'm sure.
