So after another debacle of a bench session it looks like I'll be opening raw to make sure I'm in the meet and then proceeding with the normally scheduled program afterward or I'll need to open with my current PR or more. To say that I'm less than comfortable heading into a big meet like this without having a hold on where my bench is at is definitely an understatement. Sadly I've been in this situation before and need to keep a positive attitude. It should all work out on meet day.

Thanks again to everyone that took time out of their training to day to help me and keep me safe.

 

This is a summary of what my last two bench sessions looked like. I couldn't touch last week so I came in today to have one more go at it only to encounter the same problem. It looks like I'll be opening raw at the Arnold. #Obb #overcome #orlandobarbell #elite #elitefts #eliteftsresilient #persist #driven #conquer #beard
