42 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: I started the day pissed off. Didn't help that the leader chains were missing (I found them) from the chain box. I'll be keeping them in my gym bag from now on. My rage seemed to melt away as I was lifting. Push pressing went well. Two more weeks with this band tension. I'll be using a mini and monster mini clinched instead of the bucket loop setup. That should be 155lbs of band tension. I felt sloppy on incline but whatever. Definitely getting stronger. Sixth rep was one of the ugliest reps ever. Did my rear delt stuff. Then things turned around for me. I tried out a different viking press setup for the power rack and it works, even with the 45lbs plates on it. Excellent. I went home and did a ton of stretching. After hearing quite a few people telling me check the stone's weight again (as it was within 1% of 500lbs). It turns out that the last time it was still resting on the support board we used to roll it on to the scale. This time it was off and it came in at a marvelous 505.6lbs. Hell yeah, I have a 505lbs atlas stone!
