JB'S OLD SCHOOL SEMESTER 6 DAY 1 BENCH ME

Right eye was better Friday but is now even worse today. Ugh

This marks the first time I missed prescribed reps. I know why - I couldn't get tight enough. I woke up with a bad lower back ache and my upper back was not recovered from Thursday. I know for a fact that under better "conditions" 265 X4 would have been owned.

I'm not disappointed at all tho. I gave it my all and I worked hard and I know it will be mine next time. I think I'm just getting to the point where I will need a little extra recovery time. Not sure how to proceed now as I will have to wait for JB to get back. Not pressing the panic button. It's his program so I am sure he has provisions in the event I miss reps.

Despite the issues, I did manage to set a PR. I have never repped 265 before. I have repped it 2 board, but never full ROM. I also decided to run the rack on the Incline DB's. Something different for sure.

The day started off the best ever tho. I had a dream that I was at my high school reunion and a guy asked me about my tattoos. I showed him my Zack Kahn one and then my Franco one deadlifting. Next thing I know I am pulling 500 and I locked it out and refused to let it go. Then I woke up at 7:53AM. Next thing I know my lower back is killing me. I have never had a lifting dream before.

Not sure how squats are going to pan out Sunday. It all depends on whether or not my back will co-operate.

Very strong numbers super Jim ... what exactly is the target wt. at the end of JB's program for bench ... The way you are lifting, 3PPS for 1RM is not very far ... Lots of reps on incline db and GUNS ... great going mate ... keep lifting ...
