The benching wasn't pretty. I have lost about 14# and have been sick and not sleeping well but I thought I would feel stronger. Usually weight feels heavy but not oppressive and I can press ok. Everything was oppresive today. No pop. Legs, adductors and abs are sore from Thursday. Need to jack up the GPP. I know that getting down into the 242's will zap some strength but I don't want to do that if I can help it. Loved the way I felt getting a solid 325 on the incline a few weeks ago. Don't feel that good now. Feel like I'm getting healthier but don't feel like I can move heavy weights as well.

Fun seeing Moosie and Parker. Hefé was somewhat philisophical today. Fun to hear him wax eloquent. Still can't believe he voted for Obama. Hefé seems so smart...
