I missed the 290 about halfway up.  Just not enough drive to blast through.  Bodyweight is 177-178 currently and I'm plowing through to get back up to a raw 300 bench.

WAY COOL BENCH

Thanks!  Numbers are starting to rise again.  My mid-/long-term goal is a 315 raw bench at 170ish bodyweight at 50 years old.

First time doing the Hub in awhile.  I'm tempted to start training this lift hard again, possibly getting some decent numbers in at a lower bodyweight.  My best in competition was 70lbs. at 200lbs. bodyweight.

Obstacle Course Run (2 miles)

 

I ended-up doing an obstacle course race with my kids.  I thought it was only a mile, but it turned out to be 2 miles and was way harder than what I was expecting.  (I have not run more than 20 continuous feet in probably 15 years.)  I actually finished seventy-something out of over 500, which was a surprise.  Gonna be sore for days, I think.

I tried for a bodyweight press with 175 but got destroyed a few inches from the starting-point.  Very frustrating.  I felt pretty strong today and was hoping, with a little dip, I'd be able to get it up.  When I dropped down to 165, the rep was kinda easy.

Today's ice bath was tough.  It was 49 degrees and rainy outside in the evening, which made it pretty tough getting warmed-up afterwards.  Typically, I can make it about 5 minutes in 35-38 degree water before starting to shiver.  Tonight, I started shivering after about 2 minutes.  As I continue to do cold plunging as winter gets closer, I am going to have to adjust my routine to account for the colder weather in some way.
