I couldn't sleep last night thinking about my bench press this morning. After some good momentum two weeks ago, I got my butt kicked last Monday due to alcohol poisoning. It wasn't that unexpected, but I hate going backwards. I drank no booze this week except for a few beers Friday and Saturday. Even this was seriously moderated. (It should be noted here that this in itself is some kind of record for me.) When I got up this morning I was optimistic, but felt tired. Here's how the "working" sets went up:
225 x 5
275 x 5
295 x 5
315 x 5
335 x 5
I killed my best shirted one rep max five times. I'll be traveling the second half of this week and the first half of next, so next week will be a wash. I'm gunning for 350 x 5 when I get back. I'm pretty sure if I can lay down that kind of base, I'll be on track to hit 405 by the end of the year.
God allowing we'll have a contract on our house today. If that comes through, I'll be able to nail down closing dates and plan a bit better for a climbing trip. Hopefully we can still pull something together in May.
