So last night was chest night. Steve and I headed over to the Y right from work. I am already almost back to where I was at my peak of working out. I started at 155, and finished at 235, 1 time. We tried 240, but I barely got it off my chest before it came back down. My goal before the tryout is to be back to doing 225 10 times. I think it is realistic, considering how far I've come in the last 4 weeks. After flat bench, we moved to incline. My first week back to the gym, I was only able to do 135 once. Last night I was able to do it 11 times, and I finished at 185 for 2 reps. I was actually very happy with where I am with incline presses. Next we moved to dips. Pretty straight forward there, just did my last set with a 45lb plate, 4 times. We then did flies, and dumbbell pull overs.
It was really a good workout last night. I cannot complain where I am at, at this point, but I do need to step it up. I weighed about 184lbs this morning, and again, I do not want to play under 205. I have increased my caloric intake this week, so we will check again in a couple weeks.
This morning Brandon and I went and did more skill training. My arm finally felt good throwing. A couple of throws tweaked it, but it subsided relatively quickly. Also, a guy that usually runs sprints on the field decided to cover Brandon on a couple plays. I was impressed, Brandon was able to outrun him, and was cutting really clean. I completed 2 of them, and the other 2 were just horrible throws. So needless to say, I am still very impressed with Brandon's work ethic, and passion for the game.
