First workout back since I came down with something last Sunday, I’m still sick but I had to get in a do a workout. I’m definately a little weak from being sick but I’m happy to have gotten to the weights I did. The reverse band work was good, the initial setup was pretty weak and only gave about 90lbs at the chest and each rep of the 385 sets was hard. We changed how the bands were setup and it ended up giving about 30lbs more on the chest which really increased the speed I could generate. The sets at 405 were markedly easier than the sets at 385.
I’ll be going to a doctor tomorrow to try and get some antibiotics so I can get healthy soon enough to get another shirt workout in before the meet.
Nice to see you back at it, Stinn. This was a nice workout.
I would imagine that the reverse band setup feels a lot like the asistance that you get from wearing a shirt.
Definitely rest up and eat well, Stinn. I feel for ya . . . sucks to be sick. But you look like you’re ready for some PRs at the meet, so rest easy.
How are you setting up the reverse band presses? Just curious as to what you changed.
We have the pins set about third hole from the top and then to start we had the pins go through the bands which made the bands longer then we “tied” the bands around the pins which tightened them up.
Hopefully you can get back to 100% this week for that final shirt workout and be fresh for nationals.
