Bench Shirt work

Dynamic warm up

Bench
135 x6
175 x3
195 x1

Shirt on
235 x 2 board, x 1 board
265 x1- drilled it
285 x1- good
295 x1-good, but slow lock out

So, I am hitting good numbers in my old shirt which is very fantastic.  Touches are easier than my newer shirt.  Look forward to seeing what I can do at the Open.

My hands were mangled this whole session.  I wanted to get a couple more sets of chins in, but my hands wouldn't go for it.

Quote of the day:   So my mom happened to stop in just as I was swimming into my bench shirt (she has never seen me compete or even seen a bench shirt for that matter), Paul and I are struggling to get me in and she is talking while we are doing this.  Right in the middle of a sentence she stops and says  "Sarah, that shirt doesn't fit you properly!"   Oh frig, I laughed.  Best thing I've heard in a while.  And it wasn't even my tight shirt...
