ME Bench 6/4

[IronLion]

Decided to bench in my shirt today, don't know why, probably b/c I just got it and I haven't had a chance to play with it yet
so my warm up went:
135 x10
185 x10
225 x10
315 x10
405 x 5* somehow I arched my back too much and heard it crack on the first rep so they rest were very uncomfortable
405 x 1 ouch I gave up

went on to 225 for reps with a sore ass lower back
225 x 30

We did suspended push ups next, basically there are two handles hanging from chains from the monolift, we put our feet on a box and did 3 x 8 at our bodyweight

next was swiss ball db bp (as if I wasn't in enough pain already)
85 x 12
100 x 10
110 x 10
110 x 10

then we did some chest supp. reverse bench Press
135x10
225x8x3

then Pills said he felt sick b/c he is on a diet and hasn't eaten shit, and I felt like an arthritic old man so we said fuck it and called it a day...another shitty workout

you may not have performed at your best, but dont call it shitty. both of you are big strong men, you did well, even if not your best. So congradulations.

nice job man. how does the back feel after the crack?

Still a good workout, I find my training goes in cycles, sometimes I feel I am progressing nicely for weeks and weeks, then a week or 2 goes by where I feel I couldn't get a great workout that I felt great about if my life depended on it.

Cool tats by the way, I've got em in the same place, I have initialing running down both of my triceps.

Back feels terrible today...been doing a lot of band gm's...they seem to help temporarily

As far as the training goes I just hit a wall and was overtrained...I just have to back off...but the flip side is that I didn't get where I am by backing off...oh well I guess it's time to learn

no, lion is right, yesterday was a total fuking waste. the whole i was pretty much waiting for the room to stop spinning the whole time...we did finish though
