Mediocre

Warmed up at the track with a little ring work. A few ring pushups, some ring dips, and some muscle-ups. Overall I felt very weak and nothing went especially well. At least Brian helped me get a feel for back levers.

Next we headed to the gym for some bench:

-Work up to 1 RM

10 @ 45
5 @ 95
3 @ 135
2 @ 155
1 @ 185
1 @ 195 (fail)
1 @ 195 (fail)

-5 X 3 @ 165 (90% max)

Triples felt alright but my 1 RM was well below my PR (210). I think this one amounts to having a pretty bad day in general. I was tired and hungry. I'll be better prepared next time. Besides, Brian says only mediocre athletes always perform their best. I guess this means I'm not mediocre. Thanks Brian.

I have a water-filled floor bag. It moves around a bit, but still good for hittin'. Also, I have focus mitts if you ever want to punch something that moves around. Lemme know...

Ever done a Pyramid Drill?
