Easy Bench and More Pre-Meet Variety

Monday - off, not feeling great, very busy day, just some stretching

Tuesday (today)

Dumbbell bench press with 20's and 30's.   As always, a real tonic for my left shoulder, big stretching in left chest and shoulder muscles.  Protocol is pull down as if a heavy barbell, then relax and exhale at the bottom, then repressurize and press strong.  One set with each weight, 4 or 5 reps (wasn't really counting)

BP: bar x 5, 95 x 5, 135 x 5, 155 x 1, 175 x 1 - not bad.  Meet was 170, 180, 185.  We'll have to see if we feel like more is possible this Saturday.  Opening at 170 didn't take away too much so that 180 and 185 felt good - I think trying +5 on all three attempts in a possibility.

DL: 225 on the bar, tried a single in Inaba "duck" style - felt great.  Tried another single in narrow sumo, inspired by Jeff Steinberg - felt weak and awkward.  One more duck DL @ 225 - again, felt strong

Finish with a few 2-hand, 48 kg swings

Onward and Upward
