Do tempo bench they said. It's good for technique they said. Time under tension is good they said. Bastards.

Had to get out early yesterday so i.was going to do this session that night but I didn't get home till 11. In other news, my day was so hectic I ate an entire little caesars extra, a key lime pie and a couple bags of vending machine chips/candy. I only went over my tdee by like 700~ calories but I gained 12 pounds overnight from all the carbs and salt.

On a side note apparently gorging on pizza and pie makes my bum ankle hurt the next morning. Probably from swelling.

First I used a 5plate instead of a 2.5 on one side then forgot to take weight off for the top back off and only rested a like 90 seconds because the single felt good.

And it rained last night so no sled drags again... I should just plan for something else next week.

Eh. I've been having pain in my left wrist all week but I've been ignoring it. Except today I thought I'd try wrist wraps. I hate wrist wraps makes pressing feel terrible. No pain though but I think they made the single and top set harder. Somehow. Because I took them off for 240 and the sets were easier than last week.

Ugh felt like crap last night. Started with sore shoulders in the evening then moved down my back. By bed time all my muscles and joints hurt and felt cold. Woke up in the midldle of the night and took some acetaminophen and ibuprofen and ate a pb&j. Felt a little better in the morning but still off.

Made a bench block. I made it where it slides on the bar up and down so its like the bar is touching down on the board instead of the board touching down on me. Works great for singles but kind of weird for reps. Going to tighten it up so it doesn't move next week to see how it works that way.

Probably not testing the bench block next week. Its supposed to be a low stress / pivot week. In place of board press its got Ab Wheel roll outs for some reason.
