So my last week of gym tests began on Ash Wednesday after the Carnival celebrations so we only did 4 days of tests which ended on the Saturday (12th). I didn't get the time to update everyday after the Wednesday so here I am updating for the days I omitted (Thursday to Saturday)
On Thursday we did heavy throws i.e. throwing with the 7K. The outcome was very satisfying as I threw the shot a whopping 12.36 meters while gliding...
On Friday we had a gym test which included Power Cleans and Incline Bench press... I was very jubilant about my cleans but the inclines... not so much!! For some reason my Incline Bench press will not budge. Ever since I know myself doing Incline bench press I have been maxing out 185 lbs... only once I increased to 195 and it dropped back to 185. On Friday my incline remained 185 (very annoying). Cleans had me feeling very elated!! 225 lbs I took home! I was very pleased with this result and I hope for much more in the near future...
On Saturday we had a test with our regular weight, 6K, and not much improvement came out of that... I threw 13.56 meters gliding but I threw 12.28 while standing. The theory goes that you are supposed to gain 2 meters off your standing throw, while gliding however that didn't happen with me! I only got one meter which shows how much work needs to be done with my glide technique.
Overall it was a spectacular week in my favor (with the exception of that incline bench press) but I won't get too gratified because I will be expecting more and when I don't see that, I will become depressed! Lets just hope for better in the future!!
