Bench done and dusted



Tonight I was tight on time so didnt have a lot of time to work through my bench. Regardless I doubled my weight from States, did a paused 2.5 kg PB and 7.5 kg PB again. My strength off the  pause isn't great but that's what you get for being a dumb-ass and touch and go benching for 6 months.

It felt low key tonight, I certainly didn't have the game face on but I will still take a PB. In fact to be honest it felt like I was hurrying through. Hurrying through to get to something else...deadlift night on Friday!

I have been building up tension for the deadlift even before I squatted this week. I had a great session last Friday and also harbour disappointment from States where I missed a PB through poor attempt selection.

So tonight is over and the Texas bar awaits me. It's been a good week of training and the anticipation for the platform at Nationals is palpable. This is where the mind games can begin, but the work has been done. No one is getting stronger in the last week, it's now about fine tuning and then leaving it the fuck alone for a week to let recovery begin.

It's close I can taste it!

Stay Strong
