Bench

January 30, 2020
Evening

Hips and low back are too tight to let my feet touch the floor for benching but I'm feeling better, not good, but better. Did some squats with just the bar to limber up. First time trying this thumb blaster too. I like it.

Left hand didn't seem to "turn on" until the 3rd workset. To paraphrase the Mighty Apeman "you know your getting older when you can regard your 3rd workset as part of your warm-ups".

Well I got gimped. First workset with the SSB I was thinking in my head "12's are going to be easy tonight" and something went in my low back as I locked out the 7th rep. It freaking hurts to stand but I know I need to keep moving so I don't seize up bad so I did some goblet squats, left out the Dinnie lifts and rows.
