bench press

I slept much better last night. I got my bench press done and that felt great. Shortly after finishing my bench, I got today’s WOD in. The bike is hard.

Yesterday was a shitshow for me in the home gym. Everything that could go wrong did. Today was the opposite of that. Everything went great, felt great and I had no fuckups.

Some days are like today. Nothing seems to go right at all. I couldn’t get the bench lined up right. Used the wrong weight for bench press, and then I did a WOD that had tons of hop overs.

Today was a pretty shitty day for me in the home gym. I wasn’t feeling the bench press at all, but did get it done. My first two attempts at WODs were both a no-go Finally, I found one to do.

Today’s WOD sort of repeat WOD. It had the same doublet of movements, but different numbers and a slightly different format. I was disappointed at my result at first until I relaxed that last time I used a lighter dumbbell.

This morning I did my bench press then a tough bike WOD. Later on in the evening, I got the bright idea to do the hundred kettlebell snatches challenge.

Today was a great day for my 1+ AMRAP back squats. They Felt Great. The first attempt at a WOD didn’t feel so great, and I changed my mind on it.

This afternoon it became sunny and fairly mild, so I decided to take my strongman sandbag out on the patio and get a dirty work WOD in.

It was another hotter than hell day today, but thankfully the air conditioner works well. I got my lifts in and everything felt pretty good. The bench felt better than I expected, after last time.

It was another hot day, but thankfully we have the air conditioner installed. My lifts weren’t anything heavy today, but they felt good.

It has been another hot day today. Thankfully, the air conditioner helped me sleep last night and the one in the garage made it tolerable to do my lifting. I was having some cramping yesterday after doubling up on WODS.

This morning was a great day for lifting. I hit my heavy squats with ease. After lifting, we did some running around. By the time we got home and I went outside to do a sled WOD, it was just too hot.

Today, my lifts went okay. I passed on the good mornings since I was feeling off with them. Shortly after that, we did a rough sled WOD.

This morning was more humid than it has been, and the humidity is creeping up as the day goes on. It wasn’t bad enough to drastically affect me in the garage, though. I did as expected on my lifts and surprisingly well on an interval row.

Today’s lifting went great. I didn’t know how focused I’d be able to be after an extremely close lightning strike this morning.

I wasn’t really feeling it today and on top of that, my neck is stiff from the way I slept. My knee left out a good pot right before bed but felt fine, so I went light with the squats as a precaution

Today was not as hot as the past couple of days, but it’s certainly still humid, at least for now. I made for a challenging time for my lifting session with all the sweat dripping down my face and everywhere else.

Today was one of those days when I was just enjoying myself in the garage. My lifts were fun. They were not too heavy or too light. Shortly after that, I did a fun old WOD.

Today is the first hot day of the year, with it getting into the Nineties. This morning was just humid. I did my lifts early, and they all went well. Later during the afternoon in my infinite stupidity I did a WOD, and it went okay. Just lots of cramping.

I felt like I had to rush to get to my lifts this morning. We had to go to my step grandson’s birthday and had no idea when we were going. Thankfully, my lifts were light, and I got out in the garage early in the morning and got through them pretty quickly. Had fun seeing all the grandkids later.

Today I did my old Crossfit Trinium one rep max back squat weight for sets of five today, and they felt great. The other lifts were less aggressive. Later I did an old WOD with numerous lunges and that felt good.

This morning, a good and bad day for me in the garage. The heavy back squats felt great. The bench press just wasn’t happening. The WOD I chose to do was brutal but doable.

I slept better last night, which helped. It is also windy outside today, but more importantly much less humid today. I ended up having an excellent and fun day lifting in the home gym.

I usually enjoy my lifting sessions. Some days come along like today where I was just having fun with it. Everything went well, not easy but well. I challenged myself some and was just in that good zone.

I was awake half the night last night again. I woke up after a short period of good sleep feeling great. I drank my coffee and got at my thankfully fairly easy day of lifting and did and felt great.

I really did not sleep well last night and wasn’t feel like doing anything. I had to wait around in the afternoon so I had to do my strength earlier than I would have liked.

I actually slept straight through the night again and woke up feeling great. This really helped me with my strength today as I had some heavy for me back squats to do then moderate bench press. The squats looked as great if not better than they felt.

I really wasn’t feeling it this morning but I did my strength anyways this morning. In the end my lifts all wound up actually feeling great!

I woke up early and squeezed in my lifting session before we had to do other things. When we got home we did the vault WOD together.

My strength today went poorly but at least I expected it. I didn’t eat nearly enough calories the past couple of days to recover and I woke up way too early this morning.

This morning I did manage lots of good lifting. Everything went great with nothing close to a bad rep or fail. Even did the twenty rep squats and SP deadlift program.

Today I had a perfect day in the home gym. Everything went exactly as well as it could have gone.

One single cloud first appeared in front of the sun giving that awesome winter irreverence effect that you see at times when the clouds are ice crystals

I enjoyed my day in the garage gym today. It wasn’t the best of days or the worst of days but it was good to lift. My knee was bugging me a bit so I lowered my back squats weight to keep it from flaring up.

I missed doing my strength yesterday because the washer drained on the floor and spent the day cleaning that up. Today I got to do my lifting and it was just what I needed.

This morning both my neck and hip left out a missive crack. I wasn’t sure if that was going to adversely affect my lifting today or not because I did feel a slight weakness after both.

I got my lifting in today. Good with the heavy back squats but nope on the bench press. Right after that I jumped into and endurance WOD that turned out to be about ten thousand meters on the rower.

I did my lifts this morning and then did a longer endurance type of WOD. Both felt really good today and it was nice to be done with both by right about lunchtime.

Today was a pretty good day for my lifts. It actually was much better than I expected to be going by how I felt this morning.

I’m still doing my strength every other day but I just haven’t posted about it. Today it went really well again.

I Made my very heavy front squats today at 240 pounds. That was a PR for me.

We had a pretty busy day with running around and doing our grocery shopping. I squeezed in my strength during the afternoon and felt pretty good about it.

It was not the worst day or the best day in the garage gym today by any means. Some days will go like this though. It’s still better than not doing anything.

Today I did my strength in the morning then a WOD that wasn’t great for me visually. Finally in the afternoon we did our bro session which I kept light today.

My strength for today went pretty well. I managed to perform all of my lifts with no difficulties including my sets of front squats that were on the heavier side of things for me.

Today was a busy day in the garage gym. I started out bright and early with my normal strength. I then did two street parking WODs a couple of hours apart so I could do the 700th one with Molly.

Every once in a while I get the urge to do either a WOD or my lifting or maybe both with no music at all. There’s something about it that makes it feel even better. Today’s lifts were performed that way and they felt great.

Having done my Crossfit Total a couple of days ago I took a couple of days off then reset my weights. It worked out perfect so that I was only lifting prettylight on days we wanted to get out geocaching.

I felt great getting back into the garage gym today. With the stress of the tree issues, I haven’t felt like working out and felt I couldn’t focus at all, so I skipped a day or two.

My strength went okay today, even though it was very humid from the tropical depression. I did a WOD later in the day. The worst thing about that WOD was the absurd amount of sweating I was doing from the humidity.

I took my lifting a little slower again today. I was really feeling overheated today. Probably the heat and humidity killing me. Things went well apart from that.

My front squats were challenging to say the least this morning. Everything else went okay. I made some heavy front squats, but they were in no way a walk in the park.

Today I had zero energy. Not only that by my legs felt like dead weight. Somehow I still made all of my lifts for today.

After a couple of nights of poor sleep, I had a good night’s sleep, last night. I’m feeling quite a bit better now. It really helped me with my lifting today.

I have been taking it a bit easy with my lifts since I did my Crossfit Total so I could recover. Now I am sort of back to normal with the lifts.

Today was an excellent day for me in the garage, and very much to my surprise too. My regular strength and my twenty rep squats which I did felt great!

It is hotter than Hell Today. It was about 90 ℉ when I went out into the garage, but I still did okay with my stuff. I am thankful that we have and use an air conditioner for our garage gym.

Last night’s temperature was very cool for this time of the year, with it getting to near 50. I slept better due to that. Today is much cooler, too, so I felt better in the garage. I had a fantastic day lifting.

I had a great lunchtime in the garage gym today. It was refreshingly cooler to go along with that.

Today was a very mixed type of day for me in the garage. Some things well and some things went not so well.

It was a hot day, but I was busy in the garage gym. I did lots of heavy lifting.

Unfortunately, the humidity is returning. That kills me more than the heat. Regardless of that, I smashed my lifts today and that felt good.

Today was the first hot day of the year so far. Although I slept great, the heat really hurt my lifting.

I got woken up by the neighbor repeatedly letting her door slam as she always does. I wasn’t ready to get up. Regardless, I was feeling good today and had a good day in the home gym.

I cannot complain about how today was for me in the garage. I didn’t do a lot or have a great day but I made it out there.

My lifts didn’t go as well as I would have liked or hoped they would go today. I wish every day that I would have started at a much younger age.

I guess I’m fully recovered from my COVID shot. I was feeling great today after feeling like shit on Saturday. I got my lifts in and then later we did our bro session together.

This morning I got back to my lifting. I’ve been on a short hiatus from it due to a side spasm. I did keep the weights lighter today but it just felt great to be back at it.

This was one of those rare days where all my lifts felt extra powerful. I was moving really well and moving the weight easily.

My foot is still a little achy so I knew it was going to be a bit of a rough day in the garage gym today. I still got it done.

I didn’t really get enough sleep last night for the second night in a row so I was pretty tired. My lifting still felt great today!

My lifts today felt a lot better than last time.

Today was a brutal day for me with my lifts. Everything was heavy as hell.

My lifting was almost a complete polar opposite from two days ago. My mind was in the right place for the heavy lifts.

I woke up early this morning and got my lifting done early. It was nice to get it done while I was fresh instead of waiting until we got home.

I got my first strength session of the year in today. I wasn’t evne sure if I was going to do anything since my trap isn’t too happy with me but I got it done.

I’m finally feeling back to “normal” whatever that may be. I feel like I’m ready to start pushing it agan with WODs and my lifting.

I’m continuing my journey of recovering from the corona virus. Today my squats and bench press felt pretty good considering.

I can’t say that I am disappointed with it but my bench press success streak ended today. I failed the last rep of my sets of five bench press at 200 pounds. Bench is not a lift I’m good at.

Today was a decent day for me in the garage gym. I finally got past my mental block of bench pressing 195 pounds for reps.

Today in the garage my lifts were heavy but they felt surprisingly good to me. There seems to be really no rhyme or reason to when they feel good and don’t sometimes.

I woke up feeling really tired today. I did double WODs later in the day yesterday and then found myself laying awake watching the election results. Even so my strength went pretty well and then a WOD felt good.

Some days come along and you know to lower the weight on a lfitr before even attempting it. Today was one of those days for me. I lowered my back squat weight.

I got done with my lifts and and a WOD today. I did that this morning so I can chill and watch the Eagles game in a little bit.

I am definitely back in the swing of things with my lifting nolw. I’ve been doing it but having some reluctance.

Everything was light today for my lifts but it still felt great to get under a bar. Everything felt great! I did a WOD too and that felt great also

Today my lifts were light and easy. I guess at least that’s one advantage of failing and resetting my bench and squats last time.

Today was a rough day for my lifting. It was hot and humid and I was hungry. I didn’t sleep well thanks to drinking last night. Still Im happy with the day. I made the squats!

Some days are like today went. It was one of those days when my heavy squats actually felt light and easy. I wish more days went like this.

My last strength session felt pretty rotted. Today it felt great. These Great days are always nice after a tough one.

I really had low expectations for my lifting today. My quad started cramping shortly before I was ready to head into the garage. My lifts all felt good though.

Today I finally got a chance to break in the new dumbbells. I went with lighter ones than I could have because it’s new to me in a WOD but I was happy with it. These are going to be a great addition to our gym.

Today was a day that I was feeling extra flexible. I always do deep squats but today they felt even deeper than normal.

Today I wasn’t really feeling like doing a WOD or my lifts this morning but I got it done. I guess I’m just burnt out from tracking the tropical storm. Not every day is going to feel great.

My strength went surprisingly well after poor and not enough sleep last night. It felt pretty good too.

Yesterday I did two WODs that made my knee and hamstring pretty angry. Much to my surprise my lifts felt good this morning even wit the angrer in my legs.

Today was a good day in the home gym. I did my lifts and they felt great. The WOD was tough but successful too. They always leave you feeling good.

We finally installed the old air conditioner in one of the garage windows. That will make it more pleasant in the garage folr working out. The air conditioner helped me get through my lifts this morning. Later on in the afternoon w did a WOD together out on the patio

This morning it was humid but my squats and bench actually felt pretty good. I was going to do a WOD too but lost track of time and forgot to do one.

I had an unexpected couple of day break from working out. Sometimes life throws curveballs at you. Our breaker box was shorting out and causing half the power to flicker. I was obviously too stressed to work out.

I got through my lifts easily today. I did a mentally tough WOD later that was long with movements I’m just not good at.

This morning began warm and very humid. I did my strength in that heat and humidity. I did a WOD during the afternoon. It was hot when I did the WOD but Thankfully much drier.

I failed my back squats today at two hundred and fifty-five pounds, but crushed the bench at one hundred and ninety pounds. I’ll call it a decent day.
