My bench press chart indicates a sudden drop in weight. This is the result of beginning to do ONLY strict RAW competition beches, with a "pause-press", and it is taking me some time to get used to the strict competition form. But these are the only style benches I will do from this point onward. I am excited about  moving the weight up again as I train with this style. My goal is to get back into the 260’s - 270’s by the time of the meet in late September.

Decided to take a week off for recovery prior to my last five week push of pre-contest training. Have been hitting it pretty hard for six weeks, and my body feels like it need a slight rest. I plan to hit it again hard starting next Monday.

Well, I did it. Today I met, and exceeded, my 150 lb barbell curl goal! My trainer had me try my max with the straight olympic bar, and I did the 150 smoothly. Then I added 10 lbs and brought the weight up again! Kind of satisfying. Now I’m aiming at 175!
