July 23 Bench press demo
Today i went to a festival in my hometown where they wanted me to do a bench press exibition. Was not feeling good at all because i was sick all week and did not recover 100% yet...but they made poster with my name on it and i even heard my name on the radio last week so i could not really cancel it.
Tried my new bench i bought from Bill Crawford...a really nice one. Did my warm-up...
bar x reps
135 x 8
225 x 5
315 x 2
titan super ram on
365 x 1
Could feel that cns was not good cause 365 made me shake...but still went up good.
shirt on
455 x 2
had a hard time with my gear cause it was so hot outside...was sweating a lot.
495 x 1
Then i decided to go for 545...an easy weight at MBB with my spotter but the setup was not perfect for that kind of weight.
545 x 1
It went up real good. Was not a good idea to go over that because of the weather so i stop there....but the crowd was still very impress by that weight so my job was done. Family was there to watch me and it does not happen often so i was happy about that. There's was a amateur strongman comp. who was run by some big quebec strongman and they helped me with my gear and spotting...so a big thank you to Maxime Lemire, Dave Marois and Guillaume Laflamme. A bunch of nice guy. One of them said he would like to come try a few time to squat at MBB cause he heard that Ross is one of the top coach in the world...he said someone like Louie Simmons. I said....well...you are right :)
Next stop, CPA push-pull in Magog on August 6. I plan to open with the canadian record with 570 and go for 600...then take a token on the deadlift (did not train hard on this one).
