Muay Thai and Bench

Workout 19 April 2010

Muay Thai training and conditioning, 60 minutes

Bench Press, one rep max

Results (Bench): 215lbs
Previous best: 225lbs (18 Mar 10)

Today's Thai class emphasized throwing several types of elbows and ensuring they are fast, tight, and accurate. A good portion of class was also devoted to general conditioning; it went well, but I can tell I'm nowhere near the level I used to be.

I knew going into the 1RM bench after class that I wouldn't be able to hit 225lbs. I was simply too exhausted, so I was actually happy with hitting 215lbs. Of course, going this heavy, I had a spotter.
