28 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: I was hoping for big things but I was also guarded as my left hamstring was tight and it was possible it would seize up on me during a lift. Did the warm-ups a little different this time. Shoulder has been good but it was definitely aching on bench. I kept checking my hand after every set to make sure my callus was still there. I felt good with 315lbs but just wasn't to be with 335lbs. I hit a triple good but just not there for more really. Ugly last rep and spotter touched the bar. Moved on to dumbbells. Shoulders disagreed with my discussion to do them. Really odd how these went as the first few I felt really lightheaded from keeping tight and then once I got my air, I could keep going. First set just felt awful and I was surprised I got more than 5 reps. I felt pretty good strength wise here and just issues with staying stable to push through. Power had been sapped by the last set.
