I have a strong dislike for today's work. Inclined bench is not something I ever did much of. I hate it. I don't know what it is about it, but I hate it. It never feels right to me. To add to my ill feelings, I couldn't get my bench set up right. The program calls for 45° incline. I got that easy enough, even though it felt very low. However, the ideal height for the J hooks on the stand fell right where the 2 sections of the stand are bolted together; meaning there are no holes there for the hooks. So I had to put the hooks up higher than I really wanted which meant it was more difficult to un-rack. I muddled through it. I don't think I'm setting up right. I'm going to have to reread some of my manuals, re-watch some videos and relearn the set up. Oh well. I managed an OK weight, I guess. I really don't know if it's good or not. I feel less than enthused. I should have known it was going to suck when I ran my toe over with the bench when I was setting things up and tore a layer of skin off. That should've been my sign.
According to the program I was only supposed to do 3 sets of accessories in the 6-12 range, but I didn't feel like it was enough. I still feel like I should've done more.
I'm going to have breakfast now. See, I think that was part of the issue. I normally have some oatmeal about 30 minutes before I lift. I didn't do that this morning. Tomorrow I'm going back to my oats.
