Kyle came, very cool.
Benching ( from my imperfect memory )...
bar x 10
bar x 10
135 x 8
225 x 5
Stump presses ( ie weight hanging off the bar on straps )
135 x 8
185 x 8
225 x 5
225 x 5
Stump presses definitely add another dimension to benching. I think my slow style actually helps with these, although they were still REALLY hard.
Put on Stump's old shirt for the first time
Flat Board presses
135 x 8 with 5 boards (?)
225 x 5 with 3 boards (?)
275 ( don't really remember the # of boards or reps )
315 x 1 2 boards
315 x 1 2 boards
315 x 1 1 board
315 x 1 1 board
Hmmm, the shirt is interesting. I didn't feel like it helped at all until maybe the last two presses. On the last one I think I understand, maybe. Definitely different than the denim that I tried a while ago. Maybe at some point I'll try the denim again, but this seemed alot easier to get used to. I think it's slightly big on me, but I'm still want to gain some weight.
3 sets of Chain presses with Russ, Tom, Scott, Brad...
After that I did various sets/reps of the following
tricep push downs
grip roller ( don't really know what to call this, but I *love* doing them )
a strongman one arm deadlift thingy with a 2" handle that rotates. ( Cool, very cool, I've got to start working things like this )
Crap, I'm loosing weight, 307 pounds. I guess I didn't eat enough for breakfast.
Sunday... Skiing!
Whoo hoo. The skiing was decent, Snowbird needs more snow, but it was sunny so that's a bonus. My added weight is making skiing weird. On the things that I have always skied well ( powder and off the main runs ), I still ski them really well, but on the things that I always have skied kind of crappy ( ie groomed runs ), man now I really suck. Maybe it's just that I skied on the skis that I've been skiing on until June last season and they're pretty edge-less and in need of more of a tuning that I can do myself, but I can really feel how my added mass just causes me to skid on the groomed. I LOVE the added mass in the powder though. We need more powder! And I *love* the added mass in general.
The *interesting* thing is that last year I would have skied until I was completely dead tired on a day like today, but today, while on the lift I was thinking about squatting tomorrow and to a lesser extent the little meet next weekend, so I came home early and I was completely satisfied with the amount of skiing that i did. Very weird, lol. I know I have horrible leverages for powerlifting, but I'm really finding myself loving it.
