Upper body always feels a lot less like death than lower body days as i get further into the strength blocks. The pause on the bench is going to be clutch going into the meet. I'm working on keeping tension across my entire body when the bar is on my chest and thinking of the speed of the commands as i go. This is the biggest adjustment as far as timing when the meet comes around because its hard to be cognizant and in the moment when you're working with heavy weights, much less competing. I figure make it muscle memory, and train like its game day every single day.

Slingshot felt awesome today, mostly because i had a solid spotter to give me hand offs and i could keep my position somewhat better on the bench. I checked some video and saw i have some stinky butt on the bench but im not too concerned. This was like 12 working sets into the workout and pretty heavy for me. It starts off ok, but gets worse. Luckily i wont be benching a 5 or 7rm, so ill be ok.

Wednesday is mobility, pre hab, and bodybuilding work, then 2 more heavy days and then its off to the LSU game.
