Dufisthenics

Today was an oddball Friday workout because it was a non-standard week.  Today was only my second gym appearance of the week.    I had decided ahead of time I wanted to do some smith machine squats so they wouldn’t paralyze me next week.

I didn’t expect to do any benching but that plan changed when my bench press buddy was there loading plates on the bar.  I had not seen him all week because of the whacky schedule.  Well despite doing a bunch of dumbbell chest work Wednesday and five sets of push ups last night as part of an untimed Ray’s Way, I decided to do some benching as well.

As expected, my bench was not that strong, my chest was still in recovery mode.  It felt good to get a nice mix of work in, including a number of static L-sit holds, a movement that had faded into the background of my routines.
