Slow Day at the Warehouse, so...

Gym
My bench is sucking up the joint. The only upside is that I am not suffering from severe shoulder pain.
45 x 20
95 x 10
135 x 8
185 x 5
225 x 3
275 x 5... felt pretty good.
295 x 5... felt like shit. Set up for a shirted bench is not working for Raw
315 x 5... felt better, went back to a looser setup

3Board Close Grips
315 x 5... omly paused last one, felt awkward
295 x 5... paused all five. Man, Chris gives a long call.
275 x 6... felt good.

Bi's, Tri's, and core. Did Decline Sits with a 35lb plate for three sets of 15. I think I need tro go to a steeper bench. Really liked doing High Pulley Wood Choppers. Went up to 100lbs for sets of 15. Need to push the weight on this.

Really pleased with the amount of core work I have put in over the last 15 weeks or so.

Nate hit a PR 250 for 8 on squat. Really think he could hit a high 3, low 4 squat and I expect him topull over 4, maybe make a run at 500. Will not mention the Adel Meet until September.

Writing
Just hating the whole idea of it right now.

"So you think you can Dance?"
Brandon and Jeanette are hands down the best dancers on the show. They have the perfect balance of power, fluidity and adaptability. Adae and Melissa get too much love from the judges. Adae has horrible footwork and Melissa is limited. I think the flaw in Evan is that he is always Evan. Fluid and graceful, but just always Evan. Randi is adorable, but lacks something. Of course, I love Jeanine, but she is a great dancer. To beat Jeanette she is... there is no way she can beat Jeanette. Only Kayla and Melissa have a chance, but only because the judges seem to love them.

It will be interesting to see what happens when the split the couples. I hate to see Brandon and Jeanette split up, I love watching them together. The new partners are going to make it hard on the borderline dancers. I hope Randi and Evan can show something more.

Biggest surprises: Kupono and Jeanine
Biggest BS Pile: the judges calling a telegraphed lift on (I think, Jason and Kaitlin) but turning a deaf eye to three on Adae and Melissa.
Best Moment from this week: the giving of the ring in the routine of Evan and Randi... that was great.
Best Routine: Brandon and Jeanette, both the Argentinian and the JAzz. They cannot be beat.
Best Dancer: Brandon
Who's Gone: Philip or Evan on the male side/ Kaitlin or Randi on the female
Worst Moment from this week: the russian Folk Dance (Philip and Jeanine); not their fault, it was goofy.
