July 30 '25 - Iron Abyss / Hatfield Fusion
Bench Testing Wednesday - Main and Light Accessories
6 weeks out
199.0 body weight
1110 cals headed to 2800 for the day
Cardio 10 miles - 39 min 18 sec - 122/124 bpm
Train kept a rolling all night long WOOOOOOOOOO!WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Today was the shit but nothing stank. Fuck Yeah !
The superset warm ups are paying off , and making smaller jumps is a big help as well , take a little longer to get up to working weight but I'm no spring chicken any more and this feels right to me , so we go with it. Years of using that shoulder for a battering ram in football and a cannon barrel all through shot putting and now powerlifting has taken its toll.
Meet warm up progression today and hit our first and second attempts , everything felt good and moved well.
Second attempt didn't fly but it was far from a grinder so I'm real happy about that.
We still managed to get in our main mover at 4x4 and the accessories were kept light and snappy , I got no complaints at all. 10/10 stars for a testing day.
