OK, first REAL post-meet training session.

I'm going to lower the weight for my work sets by about 40 lb or so, and then work my way back up. My body needs a bit of a break from the heavy pre-meet training.

Didn't wear a belt, just to get a few extra cm of ROM to make it harder.

Also, trying a different foot position while benching: on my toes instead of foot flat on the floor.

    • Missed on last rep, last set. Out of energy. Might be because it's been a while since I did sets of 5 across.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
