Pretty weak day. Remembered how tired my shoulders got at Muay Thai yesterday. Incline bench started out poorly but got better. Crazy pump at the end though.

I've noticed that when I'm feeling weak I rest longer to try and make my sets stronger. It rarely works out that way and I end up taking way too long for a non-impressive amount of weight lifted. So this ended up being a 2-hour session even though these poundages were not worth that. Been doing a good job of pushing the pace until now, gotta keep that up.
Made it to Muay Thai last night. I'm at the point where I'm good enough at skipping rope that I never trip up and my shoulders start to get tired. Good problem to have, just have to keep building stamina. Paired up with a partner and worked on 1, 2 to the body, 3, right leg kick, dodge the right hand, then angle back and throw a 1-2. Happy to work on angles and footwork. We did variations of this throughout the session and switched up partners.

Coach announced that one of the most prominent female Peruvian Muay Thai fighters was seated and watching and to go say hi. By the time I was ready to leave though she was gone. Damn, really wanted to meet her. Don't remember her name.
