are you planning on taking time away from the bench. So you want to do it so badly you can taste it?

[FITKLUNK]

WED. it has been over a week since last work out due to getting sick. i am going to try to make in today and just do a light work out and follow up on hopefully saturday or sunday with a good solid chest workout. I do not think this will be a set back but i was fustrated that I was unable to work out for over a week!!

Mike, I think I can taste it!!!!

Hope you get to feeling better!

Well I was definitely on my way then 2 weeks jsut 2 light workouts due to jsut feeling really bad either with alergies or sinus infection. Today i am feeling great and will still relax a bit on Sunday and start fresh on Monday. I will still attempt my 4 set at 225lbs but it may be pretty ugly.

sometimes you have to be a little flexible because life happens!

Finally i had a great solid workout today, and I am pleased with the outcome. 4 sets of 225 for sets of 6 wt felt comfortable, although before feeling Ill I was hitting 8-9 reps at 225. I am very happy though.

Mark, what is your plan on peaking at the right time ie, periodization?

[FITKLUNK]

Mike, as far a periodzation - i really do not feel that I am consistent enought during a cycle for it to be a cycle.

tuesday was my bench wo and some what please set are moving up ward again 4 set of 7 @225 . next hurdle is cruising next week so most likely another full week off or limited workouts.

It has been a tough 6 weeks getting over being sick and then a Vacation. I worked out chest on Monday this week felt pretty week and 225lbs felt very heavy. How ever todays work out was a good one. 5 sets of 6 at 225, the weight felt fairly light and all most no struggles at all. I am really looking forward for some serious improvement next week.

stay tuned

Hey all... today I have gotten even closer 15 reps @ 225lbs then focused on lighter weights with reps around 15. I think I may start working on sets of 20 first try will be @ 205 and then start increasing the weight.

thanks,
