no meet for me

Well I blew my right wrist up, it has been sore for a while now. I didn't bench on Friday to give it more recovery, and on Sunday I did very little and wore wrist wraps for what I did. The wrist felt OK after training and into the evening after Gwen's horse show. When I got up Monday morning it was swollen and hurt so bad I couldn't pick up a fork. last night at work it just got worse so that by midnight I had to cut the back of my glove so I could get my hand in. Oh well I guess I have a new shirt for the next meet.
I probably will only post what every one is doing on Sunday as I will not be doing much for awhile

18 interval training on the treadmill
well backing off for two weeks has helped my recovery and I did enough that my bench training numbers are up from three weeks ago. I've got the shirt working better but it is to big in the chest panel. I'm not sure what I'm going to do I may just go to tumwater and try to get a total, and then deal with a tighter shirt for las vagas. Problem is that I'm not built that way. I generally show up to compete.

quick training day

56 lbs weight for distance and tire toss

Great family and freinds I got home from work there was a gathering as there was a barbecue planned for the evening. I had a coffee with them then went downstairs to train, no problem as they all know how much training means to me. They even timed the steak to be done when I was, awesome.

ssbar narrow stance squats 135/6 185/6 225/6 255/3 285/3 315/3

my weight loss showed up today on the floor press when I'm @230 lbs the bar touches my chest when my elbows are on the floor today there is about an inch and half of space. No wonder my bench is down with this increase in range of movement.
