Bench Press Continuing To Feel Great

This morning I woke up feeling pretty good. I was warm enough last night to sleep with the fan in the window. The cool air felt great and helped me get a restful night’s sleep I even slept in a little this morning until nearly 5!

I got up and started drinking my coffee. I had to make a small little tweak on my sass files because I had misplaced a rule. That was a pretty straightforward fix after I tried everything wrong first. I realized what I did after I moved the at @media and @supports rule to be inline. That is when the lightbulb lit up to see that I moved the selector outside the rule. If I were smarter I would place a comment after each closing bracket, but I feel like I need to save pixel and keystrokes. At least that is the excuse I am sticking with.

Bright and early I got changed and headed into the home gym to get my bench presses in. Over the last couple of weeks I have been lazier and slower to get out there, but today I was ready to go as soon as it was light enough.

The lighter warmup sets felt great as they should have, but I messed up setting my watch for the first to sets. I figured that was a sign of a long morning, so I took my time paying attention to what I was doing while loading the plates and stuff. The rest of the sets were uneventful. I enjoyed my lifting session a lot but then again I always do. In a lot of ways it is my little bit of Carl time.

The final AMRAP was for 1+ reps at 180 pounds. That weight felt really good for me today and I got an easy 3 reps in. My hamstring stated cramping so I stopped there, but there was probably more in the tank. The last one felt like a bit of a grind, but I don’t think it actually was.

I relaxed for a bit, but I got to thinking I wanted to get a WOD in too today. I wanted to get it in fairly early. I started hunting for one, I settled on today’s SHIFT. Inchworms are dumb in a WOD but walk walks are even dumber. Oh well. I just wanted to get something in.

It did get my heart rate up a little and that is all I wanted out of it. I am trying to ease back into doing the workouts in addition to my lifting since the hamstring is feeling pretty normal now.

Maybe I will hop on the rower or bike later on. Probably not though. We will have a nice walk over to Joy’s this evening for our date night. I am looking forward to that!

Last week we went with a friend. That friend like a lot of people around here just literally talk over anyone else. I drank beer and talk shit about sports to the servers. For some reason I just think it’s very common. As an introvert myself I just can’t be bothered.

Music for today was Cephalic Carnage.
