Well, That Workout SUCKED!
Today was my Bench day and it most certainly did NOT go well.
- Squat - 3×5x245
- Bench - 3×5x190
You might be asking yourself, "But Sheen, why would you only do 2 exercises? What kinda workout is that?" Well….
Squats went fine. I guess I’m getting used to the 245 now. Not as much back pump and I threw in some dynamic stretching, which seemed to help a lot.
Bench is a whole ‘nother story. I did a short warm up with 135, then I went for 185 for 5 reps…which is NOT what my working weight should have been. I actually should have been pushing 190. I upped it 5lbs for the next 2 sets, then I got a phone call from a business partner. After being distracted for entirely too long, my body was cold, but I still went for another set at 190. My mind was distracted, my body wasn’t ready anymore, and I totally failed.
I did 1 rep, then went for 2 and the bar didn’t budge. Luckily, I had moved the little pegs on my rack just in case of such a situation, since I workout alone and all. You would think I would be all good…but Oh NO! I get one side racked, but the other side is a couple inches lower and I can’t get it up. The bar is basically ON MY FACE at this point, so I bring my right arm over to assist, but by now the weights have slid all the way to the end of the bar, making it impossible to lift.
Long story short, I had to ditch the weights on my mom’s tile floor and I felt NO urge to continue with my deadlifts, abs and curls. I haven’t even looked to see if I did any damage to the floor, but I feel okay.
I was able to pick up some protein powder today, so I can stop living off of raw eggs+milk shakes. Although I am glad I was out for so long because now I have a new meal-replacement option that I can drink.
Leave me a comment if you would like to laugh at my misfortune…LOL.
