| Golden Oldie -> RE: A Golden Log (Apr. 10 2008 22:19:16) |
Pretty awful session tonight. Refelections and excuses to follow, but first the numbers. Supposedly the last session before flying out.
60 for 8 x 3 sets
80 for 6 x 2 sets
100 for 4 x 2 sets
120 for 3 x 2 sets
140 for 2
150 for 2
Competition shirt on. Plan is to hit 192.5 to a 2 inch board and slam it up.
192.5 to 4 board - fail
192.5 to 4 board - good
192.5 to 2 board - got it up but foot flew in the air, generally awful technique. Shirt off and
100 for 10
Facepulls sets of 10 with 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Reverse Flyes - 5 sets of 10 with 5 plates.
I just felt totally flat tonight. The guys I normally train with decided to do incline bench tonight. I probably did too much warm up but I was worried about the arm strain so took it nice and slow. But if I was reading someone else's log, I'd say they'd done too much - so I guess I did too much!
Also, I didn't respect the 192.5 nearly enough. Just because I've done 200 once in my life while flooded with adrenaline, that doesn't mean 192.5 has suddenly become light. A lesson learned!
I was also using the ****tiest bar in the gym and I don't even know if I was gripping at the right place. The first attempt, the belt was a notch too loose and the shirt was on my adam's apple. 2nd and third attempts it was locked in better.
I really don't want to fly out on the back of that session. If there's no after effects from tonight, I'm going in Saturday afternoon, minimum warm up, 192.5 to a 2 inch board, and then walk away. I'll probably get nagged about not resting enough, but I think the psychological damage of not doing that will be greater than the physical damage of doing it. It will still give me six days rest before I lift next Friday afternoon.
I had a great plan - great on paper that is! Roll on Saturday and, hopefully, redemption and restoration of spirit. |
