I cut pretty much every part of my workout today short, except for the actual benching. I was feeling pretty tired from yesterday and despite pre-workout coffee and as hype music as I could find on my iPod (I need new hype music), I just couldn't get past the fatigue. Since my goal right now is cementing my form and building confidence pre-comp and I'm not really trying for last-minute strength gains (which would be silly and impossible), I think I made the right choice. I was able to bench 105#x5 (should be fine for my opener), 115#x3 and 120#x2, all with good form and my butt on the bench, so even though I didn't get much accessory work in, it still felt like a successful day. I also finished with 6 HIIT sprints on the treadmill (incline to 10, sprinting at 7.5mph for 20-25 seconds at a time), which, while as effective as outdoor hill sprints, are nowhere near as much fun.
