Today’s benching was rough. Overtraining finally caught up with my bench, as I knew from the get-go that today’s goals were unrealistic. Lots of aches and no power or strength. I worked up to the weight I was suppoesd to do 5 reps with paused, and just did a quick triple touch n go and moved on. Benching against bands was a nice change of pace, though, and I really liked the CG bench with bands. Finished the session off with a nice 15-set superset.

This workout was very m’eh. I had no focus (plenty of energy though), but just wanted to be outside instead. Rows were fine, but form was kind of crappy on my heaviest set. I am starting the 5-3-1 on chins as well just to see how it works out. My left shoulder has a weird twinge in it (almost gone though) so I opted to do the stationary bike instead of swim.
