Benching with Stump and Jeff at Golds

For a change of pace, I decided to bench with Stump and Jeff at Golds, and had a great time.

Flat bench:

bar x 8
bar x 8
135 x 7
135 x 7
225 x 5
275 x 3
(shirt on )
350 4 brd x 4
365 4 brd x 3
405 4 brd x 1

I was happy with my benching especially since I didn't want to go 100% today, and I didn't but am still making gains, ie I've never done 405 except when doing rack lockouts and it felt relatively easy, easier than the 395 last week.  I like lifting with both Stump and Jeff they're good guys and gave me some good advice today.

Accessory work

Tricep stuff, face pulls, nothing special.  I actually felt pretty strong today, surprising since I felt like poop yesterday.


Spring skiing at Snowbird.

After benching and lunch, I went up to snowbird to enjoy the snow and warm weather.  I love this time of year in Utah, warm temps but still lots of snow in the mountains.  It was close to 60 at 10,000 feet, and with all that snow on the ground it makes it feel like 100.  I skied in my westside tank top to work on my tan, lol.

We missed you at ripped, I actually managed to get through the day with no near death experiences.

Thanks Mike, I'll be back lifting with you guys at Ripped next Saturday. Glad to hear you didn't have any more near death experiences, lol. When's your meet? I'll be happy to be your lift off guy if you want me too.
