Training Log: Entry 403

The tendonitis in my elbow and my wrist is really bugging me.  Despite that, did ME upper today

Bench Press
Barx3
135x3
225x3
295x1
315x1
325x1
335x0

Notes: Awesome, I blew way past my old max without even training bench.  Only had some technique issues.  I'm pushing the bar back intsead of forward, most likely to releive pressure off my elbow.  I coulda easily nailed the 335 had I not hit the safety catch on the way up.

Close grip bench of 225
9,7,5,5

Notes: Technique again.  Awkward as hell, wrist and elbow were hurting, kept slamming the safety catches.

Straight bar pull-downs
130x12
145x10
145x8
130x7

Notes: I always have trouble figuring out weight here.  I'll start at 145 next time and see how that goes.

Lateral raises of 15
4x10

Notes: Form was outstanding.  These are much easier than I remember.  Need more weight.

Pull-ups
8,7,4,3

Notes: Ugh, I can't do these when I'm this heavy. Gonna try chin ups instead.

Barpad thickbar curls
8,8,6

Notes: My biceps are always the weak link, but the thickbar is nice and fun.

Gotta take a break from bagwork.  Ice would be great too.

  1. Nice benching numnbers! I guess dipping over 250 - 300 lbs for a while really helps.
