Bench Felt Great And Got A Quick WOD IN

This morning I woke up feeling pretty good. I wasn’t ready to wake up when Molly’s alarm woke me up but regardless I felt pretty good.

I was anxious to get my bench press in but first I had to drink my coffee. Priorities right? The coffee was excellent and it was a nice and cool this morning so it made the coffee even better. While I was drinking it I messed around a bit on m computer working on getting a self hosted LanguageTool instance going. Well that was after Molly left for work. Most days I hang out downstairs with her until she leaves.

It was not too late when I decided i was time to get changed and head in to the home gym to get the bench presses in. It was getting light but the clouds weren’t really going to allow it to get too sunny.

I started off light with just the bar. I guess I normally do with the presses and bench press so it’s normal. The bar felt great and so did the slowly increasing weights that I knocked out

I was feeling good so I took my time and enjoyed the lifting. Most days bench press is a chore more than anything that I only do for a little balance. The weight is still too light since I started way light with the wrist cyst but the final working AMRAP called for 3+ reps at 170 pounds. I did a nice easy 5 and feat great afterward.

Most of the time I do my back squats on Monday but I did a WOD yesterday that had dumbbell squats in it. Usually I would do them anyway but my hamstring still is cramping just a little so I don’t want to overdo it. The WOD felt great yesterday. I will get under the bar for those back squats later this week.

I ate something and relaxed for a while but I was thinking I wanted to get a WOD in sooner today. After eating I chilled on my tablet in bed for a bit but by mid morning I got back out there to get a simple enough workout in.

The WOD was just useless hopovers and in my case kettlebell dead lifts. I went with the 97 pounder today for those. I have to say it felt great on the old hamstring to be using it. I wasn’t sure how that would go but I was glad I gave it a go.

The WOD wasn’t as intense as I would have liked to be doing but I am still holding back a little with my hamstrings. I am happy for now to even doing one at all and also getting my lifts in. Each day is a little better though
