Powerlifting Training 9/9/18 - Bench Day

9/9/2018

0 Comments

 
Tonight's training was a lot of volume. I hit all of my targets today. I ate a lot, so I definitely needed the workout. It was my mother-in-law's birthday and I had a lot of Thai Food and a cake from Portos Bakery. I'm currently at 289lbs, so it wasn't that bad and I was drinking water and not drinking anything else to add more calories for the day.

All of the top heavy sets went well through each lift. I feel pretty confident on my set up and I am resting less, so my conditioning is even better now. I wasn't fatiguing as the sets goes by. I'll be going back to 5 reps on the next session or I will be doing board presses, depending on when my next session will be. At this pace and the way things have been going, I think I will be peaking at the meet. I won't be tapering down the week before, so I'm just ramping up by each week at this point.

I forgot to mention that yesterday, I did some extra core work before the Jiu Jitsu training. I will be doing some type of core exercise everyday until the Jiu Jitsu meet to make sure that my core is strong and also because I live a sedentary lifestyle due to my work and commute.
