Feb 26 '25 - Iron Abyss
Bench Wednesday - Peaking Phase Test - Week 3
202.6 body weight
1595 cals headed to 3300
Cardio 1 hour of shoveling - 60 min stationary bike - 16.6 miles still at increased tension - 118/120bpm
Today was a damn good day all around bench moved well , was short n sweet.
Wasn't happy with Mondays deads stalling out and did some pulling which went way better than expected due to a miscalculation on my part which I'll explain below.
Bench moved with purpose and felt good , a bit fatigued from all the snow and ice moving this week but nothing that held us back any.
Head was in it, heart was full of beautiful rage and pretty fire WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! loving it.

Grey Bands - Explanation - ok I have been calculating the bands from the BOTTOM of the pull the way I have been taught - 2 grey bands adds 230lbs at 48 inches - 115 each
Tonight I pulled one and held it and had the ol lady measure from hook up over the bar to the opposite hook with her sewing tape , 70 inches that is 168 lbs each for a total of 336 at the top in dynamic tension.
So I listed the final singles in the videos with the starting weight from the floor - bottom tension/top tension for reference.
