Mile:

My best time ever running the mile is 7:23 and that was all the way back in 6th grade. When I ran my last timed mile in 9th grade it was somewhere around 10:30. Just nice to know that my overall fitness has improved. I'd love to PR in the mile by the end of the year.

Total now up to 755!

February 6, 2010 at meet Benched 209.25

April 21, 2010 Bench Max: failed at 220, probably had 210 in me

I'm sick of bench. Old max before powerlifting was 215. It was touch n go so I decided today I would try to hit a new touch n go max. I went for 220 and failed. My elbowed then started hurting really bad. I couldn't do any pressing exercises and even just standing I felt pain in my elbows. I've gained 10 pounds and have only seen about 5 pound bench increase. It's very frustrating. I should probably take some time off to let my elbow recover. I don't know what to do to improve my bench. I always fail at the point, about 4 inches off the chest, right around a 3 board height. Once my elbows break the plane of my chest I can lock out about 275. Whatever, at least my squat has improved.

Not too bad a time considering my PR is around 5:19 and I weighed 20 pounds less at the time, and I've have practically no running training since high school.

By the way fuck bench
