I was very fortunate to have a chance to train with my good friend, Jack O'Rourke today. Odin knows him as Uncle Jack or Jolly Ginger Beard.

He was training DE bench and I was working in my prototype shirt. I did my warm up with his set up to make things a little easier.

Bench

Bar + Double Mini (DM) x 5 95 + DM x 3 - Added shoulder saver. Which was a great Idea 135 + DM x 3 185 + DM x 3 225 + DM x 3 275 + DM x 3 315 + DM x 3 405 x 2 - Added my shirt. No Touch 455 x 2 495 x 1 - Touched 545 x 1 - Touch and exploded up 585 x 1 - On the way down I thought my wrist broke. I panicked. Composed myself and finished the lift. It was slow and sloppy, but all in all I was happy with it.

Incline Bicep curls

2 sets until failure.

Then Jack and I went and got Ice cream.
