Heavy Bench - normally, but my altered Frantz suit just came in!!! So, it was a light Squat night instead...
Bar x 3 x 2
105 x 3
145 x 3
195 x 3
235 x 3
I'm so excited! I love the feeling of a canvas suit. I get so much more support out of it and my technique is much better. I struggle with my knees going forward and and last week my back was curving at the bottom of the squat. Not in canvas! I was able to widen my stance by almost a foot, dropped my rack height, and voila...knees were great, chest was up, and the weights were popping up. Looks and feels like a completely different squat. It's a great feeling when everything is just right! Joanick's suit came in too and if his suit feels as great as mine does there's no telling what he'll be able to hit!!
So my goal for Heavy Bench (235 lbs) will have to wait either until tomorrow or Monday. I was planning on benching tomorrow but I had dreams all night about squatting all these ridiculous weights....the Metal Militia Montreal (MMM) Team comes on Sundays so its a great day to go for it, whatever IT is.
