40 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Catching up on sleep helped a little but I had a bad case of Tom Waits' voice all day. My strength was not the best today. Used the other bench for banded bench presses. This one has a support the runs close to the ground underneath it and has adjustable pegs for when the bar is racked. Since I couldn't put a dumbbell underneath the bench, I added plastic collars on the bar to make up for the difference in band stretch. I adjusted the pegs so the bands wouldn't get mashed like last time and it worked great. Shoulders were slow on dumbbell stuff. I got eight with 95lbs and lost my balance and put them back down on my knees, took a few breaths and cleaned them again to grind out one more rep. Would have liked to get ten reps but no such luck. Dips felt ok but 150lbs was just too much, only got four reps. Even rear delts were tough as crap. Did lots of stretching.
