Bench Press

"When was the last time you benched?" Roy asked on Friday, it seemed innocent enough, boy was I wrong!


My body never ceases to amaze me, I think I have it all dialed in then "wham", I feel like a truck hit me, and that's just with a few changes. 


I am writing this on Sunday evening, and my body is sore, pretty much all over. It was worse yesterday, in fact laying in bed last night, with the heat and my aching body, I found it difficult to sleep.


The pecs really hurt, but so does my entire chest, my delts, my glutes, quads, hamstrings,  traps.


What did I do?? I know because I keep a training journal! Sometimes I cannot remember to record my weights when I am with Roy, but he has it all and I can check back later if needed.

Some of this is new, like the bench press, walking lunges with all that weight and the shoulder exercises on Saturday; and some is just damn heavy, like the deadlifts; combine it all together and that's why I am sore. As you can see, I am not doing a whole lot of cardio, I haven't been running at lunch, although I may start up soon after it cools down a bit, I will see how I feel!
