Bench:
135 x 10, 185 x 5, 225 x 3, 245 x 1, 275 x 1, 315 x 1, 225 x 10
I felt a sharp, shooting pain in my left pec at 275. I went to 315 and it was the same. At that time I backed off, and played it safe. If hurt at 225 x 10, but not nearly as bad. I called it a day.
Pec pain is going around. DBasler and now you. I hope it resolves quickly.
It’s all good. I’ve been keeping ice on it. We’ll see how it does in a few days.

That’s all I had time for. I had to head off to church. It was nice to finally have some life in the legs.
Ice? Hope you didn’t tear anything.
So don’t keep us in suspense. What’s the deal-io?
No, I strained my left pec pretty good. At this point I am calling it a strain. I’ll bench later in the week to test it out

Today is a new day. I’m cleaning up my diet (again). I also want to add more cardio into my training. Today was only five minutes, but you have to start some place. Plus on my off days from lifting I have been going to the gym to train my daughter. We both start out with cardio for 20 minutes.
My meet is in November, so I want to start eating correct and getting in better shape now. With all my traveling around lately I have been eating like crap, and I’ve put on a few pounds.
Friendly advice Crippler. Give the pec the rest of this week and next week off.
I did the same thing with my left pec when it got strained that you are thinking about because I had a meet coming up. Made it through the meet okay but never gave it enough time off. Ended up tearing it two weeks ago. Now I’ve been forced into 2+ weeks of not doing anything at all for my chest. It is slowly getting better but still has a way to go.
Give it time now and you should be 100% in another 10 days.
^^ THIS! A thousand times THIS ^^ !!!

Thanks for the advise fellas. I think I will give it a go tomorrow. It will have been a week. I’ve been icing and stretching and it feels pretty good.

Front Squats:
4 sets x 5 reps x 245
Leg Extensions:
4 sets x 10 reps x 235
The squat rack was taken so I went to leg presses. It was kind of a nice change. I know it is totally different than squats, but that was a new best for leg presses.
How many plates did you put on top of the machine to get 1130? Never seen one loaded with that much before.
24 total 45s and two 25s on each side. I place my feet as high as I can on the plate, and come down as far as I can. I think it changes the leverage by going so high on the plate, and makes it somewhat easier by further employing the hams.
That is impressive lifting.

I benched and it felt pretty good. I adjusted all the weight back 10 pounds from where my log had me going. I only had some mild discomfort at the end. I think it was more fatique
Crippler, google Baton Rouge dty Nicholas Tullier
He’s just four years younger than me. I saw one of the other guys was released. If you have not guessed, I work in the same industry. It’s a constant worry now days.

My family and I appreciate your work. Stay safe.
First funeral was Friday morning, 100,000+ lined route from church to cemetery. Similar number for second one yesterday.
So you’re in law enforcement? Stay safe! Keeping you in my thoughts.
Thanks, and yes I am. It’s nice so many people came out.
