2-12-14 – Bench Press
Posted in Jesse Kurth Training Log
It’s Wednesday February 12th but I just call it bench day. I’m very thankful that Abraham Lincoln was born on bench day because It got me out of school and now I can have a productive day starting with the gym. This will be my first day of benching since the meet and I’m starting to pause the weight on my chest before I bring it up so when meet time comes it will be second nature. I notice a slight difference in difficulty but I’m sure it will feel natural in no time. Even when it is just week one of my cycle and the weight is relatively light I still try to treat each set like theirs 1000 pounds on the bar so my set up is always exactly the same. Overall today was a great day in the gym and I’m sure I will be feeling it tomorrow.
