No doubt you are sore today. It's always a shock when you haven't benched in the shirt in a while. Thems is some nice weights.

Eric, any reason for the no shirt training?

We all train really hard balls to the wall for the Biggest Bench on the River on May 10th. We just needed a break for the heavy weight and did some reps for a month to heal nagging pains. You Jesse is getting. (Hope he does read this :-). That's all though just to take a little break.

I feel pretty good actually. Nothing hurts or is tight even my nagging elbow feels fine. My hands are sore but thats normal for me. I dont have big hands so its kind bone one bone with the heavy weights.
