Performed yesterday.
Warmed up with bar work -- spaced on dynamic work because I felt pressed for time. Turned out not to be an issue.
Wore elbow sleeves and Spud wrist wraps. Used only water -- out of Beta-Alanine/creatine crap, but got more via UPS yesterday.
Competition Bench x3@8 + 6% fatigue sets: crapped at 220kg, took one fatigue set to 5%; not sure what the problem was
Bench + chain x3@8 + 6%: reached 180kg + 6 chains total at 20# each, so a little better; took 1 fatigue set after I backed off 10kg/side.
DB extensions x8@9 + 6%: fat DBs, 120#, got two sets to fatigue with same weight
All in all, not bad, but not great. Head wasn't in it that day, I guess.
Not worried about it, but a little frustrated that the rapid progress I've seen has stalled a little. Plus bench was never my best, and I'm stagnating a little. It's frustrating. I will have to do some extra work on shoulders and pecs, because my triceps are coming along well. Trouble is, full ROM work at my age is problematic.
We'll see.
