5x66
5x136
5x186
3x236
3x276
8x306
18x236


Notes: Was supposed to do 271 for the middle set, but I've been a little lazy with the plate loading.  I had 1 more in me on the top set, but butt came off the bench and I didn't want to risk re-tweaking the glute going for an extra rep.


Chins (various grips)
1x25
3x20
1x25


Band pull aparts
5x20


Notes: Performed between sets of bench.


Keg clean and press 182
4x1


Notes: As much as I want to focus on the circus dumbbell, I haven't even touched a heavy keg and the show is 3 weeks away.  Needed to relearn technique on this. First set was ugly, but after that I found my groove.  Being able to hit this fatigued in the morning bodes well for day of the show.  That said, after this contest, I think I need to get my blood pressure checked.  I've been blacking out at the top of overheads, which isn't uncommon in the sport, but is rare for me.  I typically hang out at the slightly elevated range, so I'm curious if I dropped down a touch.


DB hammer curls 40
4x10


Crucifix hold 15lbs
1x60 seconds
1x35 seconds


Notes: Loading pins with 10lb plates, held around the middle.  No idea where I stand on this event, but some training is better than none.




General notes: Woke up at 194.4. Still healing, but I'm starting to finally feel some confidence for this contest.  Training was really touch and go, but seems to be coming together now.
