July 29 - Heavy Bench (Night off)
Heavy Bench
I was planning to not go into my shirt but at least bench raw, but my righ bicep, tricep, forearm, scapula and my neck on the right side hurts a lot still so I took the night off. We haven't 100% committed to the meet next weekend in Ithica, NY but if we do end up doing it I want to recover as much as possible.
"The boys" worked it their shirts for the second time - each time they figure out another piece of it and apply it - it's exciting to watch people figure it out and see a look of success on their face as it starts to makes sense.
Chris is doing a meet in Magog next weekend and worked up to his opener, he worked with Ross this week on getting the right foot position to get the proper leg drive, and kicked his heels at the press call and sailed 500 lbs right to the top.
Ross played with possible openers for the meet in Ithica, NY and just missed 520 (he locked it out but the weight bounced back down on him) then went 525 but just missed it at lock out, again.
Curd was back this week, perfecting his form - he took 680 down nicely but had a hard time touching, pressed anyways and sailed it up. He called for 730 next and handled it patiently but missed the lift. His training is coming along nicely.
