852HB W2D1: Press
Press: 155x5, 165x5, 175x5
Weak. Walked into this thinking I'd press 175 for at least 7 reps. Instead, I failed the second rep, reset, and punched out a complete set of 5. I really don't know what to expect of myself lately; everything's wonky. So I suppose I'll just keep hitting what I can, when I can.
Bench: 225x8, 245x8
Two hard-fought sets. Got a spotter for the 245; I haven't had to be spotted on 245 since 2015... And I almost ended up needing him on rep 8, but I got mad and pushed through.
So ... 5 upper body sets I'd call "working sets" today; provided I get at least 5 more total sets this week, I'll call that a win.
C2 style rower (off-brand): 4x500, 2min rest. All splits sub-2m.
I figure I might as well improve my crappy conditioning since I'm not top-level strong right now. Before, when I was PR-ing every workout or every week, I didn't want to mess up that jam. Now, well ... not much to mess up eh?
Got the work in. Didn't quit. We'll call it a win. SDG
