Well two weeks have past and back in the shirt I go. This week was straight weight to a 2board. I needed to see where I was and what I could handle. My target was 8 plates on each side with good speed. Target hit! Speed was good, not great but good. I always judge my shirted bench-press by speed. I know what 8 plates for me should look like speed wise at 2board at 1board and full range. I’m not there yet for 2board. I just have to keep telling myself to take it slow. It’s going to take time to get my CNS, my triceps, my confidence and my belief that I am ready again. I’m closer that I was last week or the week before so that's a good thing....
