I think MULE is trying to kill me...

[TheProject]

I tried my first shirted max day today, and let me just say it is hell to type right now.

Here was the plan:

- Work up to 200 raw
- Take 200 for a triple in the shirt
- Do 5 triples of 225 in the shirt
- 3 sets of heavy 4 board triples
- 3 sets of heavy 5 board triples
- 10 single lockouts at 315

Here's what I actually managed to do:

- Worked up to 200 raw
- Took 200 for a triple in the shirt
- Did one triple with 225 in the shirt

Then the next set damn near killed me. I couldn't stay stable and in the groove, and kept trying to dump the bar, so I took it back down to 200, and did three more triples. On my last set, I couldn't manage to pull the bar down to the shirt I was so tired.

After that, I tried a moderately heavy 4 board, and couldn't even muster the strength to unrack the bar, much less press it.

MULE said if I was too fried after the shirted work to just go straight to lockouts, so I tried that, and could not make the bar budge.

I'm experiencing a form of pain and fatigue in my triceps like never before...and I think it's a good thing.

I just need to get stronger...not being able to do a full workout is not acceptable to me.

Good training, look at it from in a different way, he's not trying to kill you just showing tough love lol.

Wow, that sounds like a killer! Stick with what Mule says and you'll have a monster bench.

Sounds like you are having a good time with the MM training. I can't wait to get started. You'll be setting new pr's soon.

Sounds brutal.

What is your 1RM that this was based on? Or was it?

My 1RM in the shirt is 255, set this past weekend, and my raw max is 225, so that's where MULE came up with the numbers.

I feel really good post workout, but man am I fried...
