I forgot my belt at my apartment on Tuesday, and although I don't normally wear a belt when I train, I do like to wear one when I test. So I hit 425 without a belt and then put 445 on the bar. I missed it and was caught by the crash bars. Embarrassed and pissed off, I found a random belt around the gym and put that on, then put 455 on the bar. I hit 455 and called it a day.
Wednesday was the day I tested my bench. Boy was I a space cadet this day. First off, I decided it would be a good idea to try a bunch of pushup variations the night before. Secondly, I forgot to take caffeine before I went to warm up for the bench. Now, I take caffeine every once in a while before I train if I am feeling sluggish, but I most certainly try to always remember to take it before I test. Obviously this didn't work out. Long story short, my mind and body were very disconnected on this day and, as a result, my performance suffered.
Thursday I took completely off from working out. My nervous system was still trying to recover from what I had put it through the previous two days. Thursday night I became a distributor of Protandim, a supplement that has been proven time and again to reduce oxidative stress by up to 40%. For more information on Protandim, click here.

Friday morning myself and Chris Shalvoy timed how long it would take us to do 100 pullups each. We finished in 19 minutes and 11 seconds. I have the entire thing recorded; I just haven't taken the time to edit it into a reasonable-length video. Look for that soon though!
Saturday my lats and biceps were killing me from the pullups marathon the day before. I didn't work out at all on Saturday, and instead used the day to read, contact people about Protandim, and send out The Source.
That's all for this past week. Now it is time to go live this one.
