Luke 9-13-11 Bench and Vacation

I went to Mammoth and Yosemite with my family for the past 5 days. Yesterday I did the Nevada falls hike which is 1900 ft of elevation gain (and loss) over 3 miles (each way.) This was the most strenuous hike I've done in a while, but with my conditioning from bike riding and strength from powerlifting, the uphill was a breeze. Nevertheless, my ass is sore.

I got home today and wanted to hit up the gym so I did bench after skipping press and lower back days. I think I will combine squat and deadlift on thursday when I am less sore.

Nice work on the benching. Your strength levels have gone way up this summer, even with the biking
