-Bench: 405 x1, 455 x1, 475 missed at the very top. I couldn't get set up right, having troubles with the new bench belt. My right foot came out from under me right at the top and I tipped. On the plus side, the weight was easy and felt light in my hands. I had Cullen wrap my wrists extremely tight and it helped a ton. Went to 495 and again missed at the top. Everything was right this time, belt was good and I was driving my belly up good. I was about 1/2" from touching and I had to lower it a bit and the bar went off the bubble of the shirt. I reversed it and came close, but couldn't lock it.
Overall I am pretty happy about this. I am now 100% confident with 455 and 475. 5 more training weeks to go, I am going to focus on getting my triceps up more. 500 is going to go at Worlds!!
Cullen did reverse bands with the greens and hit 695. His bench is coming up tons and I have a feeling he is going to be good for 550-575 at his next meet.
-Beakers: 135 bar weight, 66 pound kettle bell hanging from bands on each side of the bar x6, x6. Pretty intense, hammered the tris hard.
-Kettle bell floor press: 88s x10, x8, x10. First time I was able to get 10, and to tell the truth it wasn't too bad. This means my triceps are coming along.
-Chest supported row: 90 x10, x10, x8.
-Reverse flys: blast straps, bodyweight x6, x6, x6.
Done. De-loading squats tomorrow and working up to 650 or so in the dead. Maybe more if it feels light. Got my ACE squat suit, can't wait to try it out!
