300 by 40

My quads and ass started getting sore last night and I’m definitely feeling them today! Out in the garage after close to 4pm.

Warm-up

• 5:00 Airdyne (114 cals, 2.67 km)
• 30 PVC Passes
• 2:00 Airdyne (44 cals, 1.05 km)

Bench Press

• 10×45#
• 8×135
• 5×185
• 3×215
• 1×245
• 1×275
• 1×285
• 1×295 (PR)
• 1×300 (PR)

Man 295 was so fucking sketchy, but recovering it gave me the confidence to really go at 300. This makes seven weeks in a row hitting some kind of PR on the bench! I wrote a post with more thoughts over on nick.blog. I set this goal back on June 8th and I sure am glad it’s done. Now I can concentrate on some other stuff.

Conditioning

4 Rounds

• 500m Ski Erg
