Rolling Rolling Rolling

     We didn't get in much training last week, for a variety of reasons. This week isn't looking much better, but we at least got some bench in tonight. Here's what got done:

••••••••••

75lb x12

95lb x10

115lb x3

(115lb x5) 2x

(115lb x4) 2x

95lb x10

INCLINE BENCH:

65lb x8

75lb x4

75lb x8

75lb x6

DECLINE BENCH:

110lb x4

ASSISTED DIPS:

*I tried doing some with zero assistance, but I'm not counting them because they were no where near full reps. It felt good to try, though.

     We're trying to switch things up a bit while still keeping with our same basic program. So tonight we started with flat bench. I was going to try again for the 135lb, but I didn't feel like I would be able to move it so I kept it at 115lb. I used to be able to do the 115lb for 3 sets of 5 and it will certainly feel good to get back to that again. 

     We're going to start throwing in a bit more dumbbell work. It's difficult at times though because there are only 2 adjustable benches in the weight room and 2 flat benches. When we see one, we have to jump on it before it gets taken. If they're all in use, we need to think on the fly lol. 

     Tomorrow Frank has a club meeting to go to so I'm not sure if I'll go alone to the gym. It's only bi's & tri's, probably my least favorite night so I'm not terribly worried about it. I feel like I can add those in at other times during the week. I'm slowly learning not to get too stressed over missing my training days. Do I know that discipline and consistency are the most important factors in success? Yes. But I also know that sometimes life doesn't give two shits about our schedules and we need to learn to roll with it. Right now, I'm rolling.
