Notes
Bollocks.  Shouldnt have done this day.  But last years open Nationals I did exactly the same thing, just the initiation of the injury was slightly different.  But it was the doubles day that it peaked.  And today was the doubles day.  In fact its exactly the same distance from competition as it was from nationals.  

Idiot. 

But, I have the experience, and I have a plan.  Taking it even lighter than the nationals plans.  
Just have to work intellegently to avoid the bench taking the same idiot journey it did for the nationals too.  

Now the good points.  My last warmup was close to the same load as the weight that got me last year.  And the top set bit me near the top half.  The weight moved easily.  Could have least waited until my second rep, but with the way the first moved, then I should have been good for 275 double, maybe 277.5.

Happy with the speed, not with the pain.  The first day afterwards was highly painful and sharp.
