Last night was the first time since I started lifting again that my bench did not go up. I am not sure what the main factor was, but I am thinking that it was due to the fact that I was coming over shoulders, back, and then chest without any rest in between. I did manage to get to 245, and did that once, but when I tried 255, I was unable to get it off my chest. Last week I did 250, and it felt good, I thought for sure 255 would have been doable. I'm not going to get too down about it though. I was able to manage 205 on the incline again, and did 6 dips with 55lbs. All in all, I cannot complain about my workout last night. I was just concerned with hitting a sticking point. I'm sure i'll get over 255 next week, and move one step closer to 225 x 10, and 315 x 1.
This morning Brandon and I went and did our normal skills training. I was extremely impressed with how good his hands are. He made some catches today that just floored me. I know I was no where near as good as he is, when I was his age. He has a lot going for him, and I believe it is all because of the work he has put in. I remember when I first started dating Kathy, and I met the boys, Brandon didn't have all the skills he has now. He has really caught on, and worked hard to be where he is. My point being, it wasn't natural talent, but hard work that made him what he is. The kid is dedicated, and willing to do whatever it takes to get to where he wants to be. I cannot say enough about him, and his work ethic.
