Notes: 3:00 between sets.  With the longer rest periods, I made the DB benching a shorter workout and tried something I had been thinking about playing around with the incline.  I also got to use my new Ironmaster dumbbells which go up to 75lbs per hand.  I like them, but they are different than powerblocks: don't change weight out quite as quickly.  Longer handles too, but they feel sturdier, and could fit fat gripz if I were so inclined.  I think this addition is going to be a net positive.

On the flat bench, when I REMEMBER how to bench, I have a great performance.  This means driving with the feet AND squeezing the hell out of the bar.  I tend to only do 1 or the other.

Forearm pain was reduced.  Still present, but not horrible.  Time continues to be the ultimate healer.

PM WORKOUT (1500)

Axle Grace

4:25

Notes: Better than last time. Most likely a sign of healing.
