Last night was a night of milestones for both Steve and I. Steve pushed 300 for the first time on the flat bench last night, and I pushed 255 for the first time in I don't know how many years. My flat bench sets went really well. I started at 185 for 10 fairly easy reps, I probably could have pushed out 12. Next I did 205 8x, 225 5.5x , and then 245 2x. I then tried 255 again, with success. I should have tried to push to 260, but I wanted to save something for later. Next we did dips. I finished at 70lbs 4x. Incline bench was another milestone for me. I had set a goal of 215 at least once last night. I was able to do it twice, so what the heck, I wanted to try 225. I was able to get 225 half way, and it just stuck. I'm thinking by next week, I should be able to get 225 at least once.
Prior to my chest workout, before Steve got to the Y, I had to do a quick back workout. So I did 17 pull-ups with my body weight, then for the next 8 I did it with 25lbs. I then went to bent over rows, and finished at 205 for 4 reps. Again, my grip gave out before my back really did, so straps are definitely in my future.
This morning Brandon and I gave running routes another shot. He was in much better shape today than yesterday and was doing great. I also ran routes, and had him play full time QB for a bit. I dropped one really easy pass over the middle, but caught everything else. I do need to stretch out my calves as well, before cutting as hard as I was. My calves and shins are aching quite a bit.
