35 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Good workout, hamstrings were still tight but not as bad as yesterday. I knew that 275lbs was going to fall. Legs weren't in it on my first attempt with 290lbs and I missed the press twice. It was so close. Killed it on my second attempt and that felt great. 300 was close but it wasn't there today. Soon. I noticed that I was feeling much more comfortable with the log on my chest. More legs and stronger triceps. I haven't done the rack suspended bench with my 12" log with straight weight. Felt good until 330lbs, form was off on the first attempt and went to far forward and I had to really gut it out to get it after about 30 seconds rest. Upper back work went well. Had to do a lot of stretching for my hamstrings.
