Last Bench workout before meet...

I felt real good going into the day....the elbow is feel good and just am excited about the meet coming and ready for it to be here....BUT...after the workout my Right Elbow was a little sore...It is from the shirt and how I wear it...I torque it by twisting the sleves outward and if it does go on right it does put some much unwanted pressure on the elbows...I did one set and had to take the shirt off due to the pain it was causing in the elbow, but put it back on and it worked well...I just like to torque it to get the added pop out of the shirt....but HELL IF IT HURTS DON'T DO IT....just going to play with the torque at the meet to see how it goes...

135x10, 225x8, 345x5, 445x1, 495x1, 505x1 (all paused) Felt good...even with having to put the shirt back on after the 495 set...

Not a big workout...just trying to keep the body as fresh as possible....I will be doing a little small workout Sunday just a few extra things...nothing much though...Then rest next week...I will go into the gym to do a little cardio nothing out of the norm...just want to get the blood moving....then a message and a trip to the Chriopactor....busy week next week.... :)
