Training Log: Entry 2624

Bench workout got a little crazy.  Ended up doing half of the workout on Wed and then half of it today due to scheduling craziness.

WEDNESDAY WORKOUT

LUNCHTIME WORKOUT

Axle bench press 281
3x10

Close grip axle bench press 241
3x10

Dips
2x30
1x25

Standing ab wheel between sets
6x8


THURSDAY

Fat gripz swiss bar incline bench 225
3x10

Fat gripz standing ab wheel between sets
2x8

Poundstone curls
1x100

Notes: 3:25 between sets of benching, 2:00 between sets of dips.  The Wednesday workout got cut short because I had to build something for my kid but also because my right forearm was in so much agony that I couldn't unrack the swiss bar.  I started to do some thinking and I realized that my forearm doesn't ache on the axle benching, and it aches like hell on the ab wheel and swiss bar.  I realized the variable was bar diameter, and that the narrow diameter stuff was just killing me.  Slapped the fat gripz on the swiss bar and the ab wheel and though it was an absolute and total game changer, it did significantly reduce the ache I was experiencing.  I'm excited to have a way forward.  Ideally, I'd stop benching the day after squats, but my schedule doesn't permit that often.
