Training Update

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.
