Hey whats up all? So today was Max Effort Bench Day. So today was shirt work as were only a few weeks out from Nationals in the WABDL here in Portland. Wow its getting close and I'm getting ramped up.
So we lifted today at Golds up here in Vancouver WA. The reason we did that is most of Primal Power was at a USPF meet in Oregon today. We would have gone but we really needed the time under the weight to prep for this WABDL meet coming up. So we did our warm ups as normal. Today was a 2 board day for myself and AJ. Tamara was going full range today working on her form on the bottom end as that is where she needs it most. Today I got up to 405 raw off 2 board for 3 reps then shirted up. AJ was around 275 as his shoulder has been bothering him. Tamara was I think 150 off 2 board.
Then we shirted up and went at it.
Shawn
Raw
135 x10
225 x 8
315 x 3 - 2 board
405 x 3 - 2 board
Put on shirt loose shirt
495 x 3 - 2 board
585 x 3 - 2 board - miss bad hand off and had a very hard time holding the weight with the loose shirt
Put on Comp Bench Shirt
585 x 3 - 2 board - hard but made all 3 reps
600 x 1 - 2 board - solid and felt better than the 585
AJ only went to 405 for a few reps as his shoulder was really bothering him today.
Tamara took many trys at 185 trying to control her form and the weight in full range. the top 85% of her range is very solid but that bottom 15% needs more form work. more reps more reps. she did get a 175 full range to go. and we finally got her shirt to sit right on her, since boobs get in the way. So we pulled them up, yep pulled up the boobs in her shirt a good 6 inches, lol.
Much better support !
The Picture above is the weight I did on my last set.
After all the benching was done we did some dumbbells, and some decline. nothing major there.
