Push/pull day 06/14/13

The one good thing I've come to enjoy about not competing right now is I'm able to do some things I have wanted to do for a long time.  When I'm in my meet prep I'm zeroed in on what I have to do for the next 16 weeks.  Today I did something I have wanted to try, but never took the time.  I did some TGU with the barbell for the first time ever.  I was impressed how well it went, its not perfect but pretty good.  I wanted to get some prowler work in today, but realized I didn't have much time till I needed to pick my baby boy up from daycare. So, I figured I would combset my bench and DL to save time.  Combosets were done with normal rest 2:00min rest b/w lifts, did'em mainly to get all the work in I wanted to do today.

1) TGU
  1x3 R/L  bar
  1x1 R/L  65
  1x1 R/L  85
  1x1 R/L  100

2a) Bench

  1x5  225
  1x3  275

  1x3  225
  1x3  315
  4x5  405

Video of my 100lb TGU.   And yes, the left arm almost got ugly at the end. If patience isn't your thing, the right arm starts at 30sec mark, and left arm at 1:55 mark.
