#IStandByMillsy Member 4287, 2614 posts SQ 300, BP 310, DL 250860.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq | Bench 70*5 100*5 120*3 140*3 160*3 Shirt 190*3 210*3 230*3 250*1 250*1 No touches and weight felt heavy. Couldn't hit line tonight but think it's because I've been ill last couple of days and tired from Saturday. Flat back narrow grip 120*5,5 Some triceps and debts. Will do a proper run through on Saturday or Tuesday. Don't want to have to switch to looser shirt for comp but see how it goes. Hoping to hit a fairly comfy 260 / 270 next session but f**k knows. | ||

Lols, fortunately it was the delts that took a hammering  Cheers - weights moved OK-ish just couldn't get set up right and lacked a bit of power. Lots of possible things contributed to it, so trying not to overthink it. Was ill for a couple of days, struggled to get tight shirt on a so hot and sweaty and bench was very wobbly, plus my upper back and triceps were hammered from a big session on Saturday. However, all of that fades into a background of - I've forgotten how to bench and I've become weaker. lol. Looking back I don't think I was confident enough at touching lower too. Will try and have a proper run through Sat or Tuesday and get it working. | ||

Will see how it feels in the day and just go lift by lift. I have some lofty targets but not sure I'm quite there at the moment. Need to get one lift in to qualify for British in January but after that we'll see how it goes. | ||
