Bench against 1 chain (105lbs + 40#) 9 x 3
Added weight and threw on the slingshot for max reps. As I was repping it out, the chain got caught in the peg. I was well on my way to 20 reps but that was my fault for not noticing. I thought my balls were bigger than I thought and went for another max rep set. Made it to 9, my setup was off, and the bar was moving everywhere. I should have just cut it and moved on to the next movement. You live and you learn.
135 + 40# max reps - 16 reps / 9 reps
Made up another movement to do - close grip to a 2-board for 3 x 10. Again, I thought my balls were bigger and stayed with the same weight instead of going down considering I was doing close grip.
Made it to 7 reps with terrible form and a little assistance from Jordan. I looked at him and said "I'm just fucking up today."
Did 95lbs + 40# of chains - 2 x 10 close grip (2 board)
Moving on...
Overhead tricep extensions - 3 x 20
Pull downs - 3 x 20
Curls for the girls - 3 x 20
Static Abs x 50
And now I'm just sitting here alone at the compound writing this as I eat a questbar.
The reason this is bothering me is because just this passed weekend we discussed how you should "never leave the gym knowing what you can't do." It's not that I failed but I was being careless. If you think about it, you only have a certain amount of time leading up to a competition. You want to make every training session count. The result is the lesson learned; because if you truly tried your best and gave it your all, that's all you can really ask for.
