A routine but pleasant upper body day today. We're both making solid, steady progress with our bench presses and standing presses, but I feel like I'm stalling a bit with my pull ups. The summer gym we're attending is delightfully bare-bones, so there is no assisted pull-up machine. I think having some assistance at high reps was helping me build, so I'm trying to figure out how to work up from here.
Through the lifts, we were a tiny bit distracted: there was a meet at our gym this morning! Gigantic dudes in power-lifting suits were walking around everywhere, lifting warm-up weights that were more than I could ever dream of lifting and it was super inspiring...but it made me feel a little silly struggling as hard as I was to just press the bar when practicing my standing press. Everyone has to start somewhere.
