Notes:

* My right forearm has been pissy for a little while now.  The axle curls bugged it a touch, but I was able to get a solid pump.  This second round has proven pretty good in that regard: knowing what I’m doing allows me to focus on how I’m doing it, and I’m really trying to focus on the pump where I can.  The forearm pain isn’t like when squats would aggravate it: most muscular than connective.

* Always happy with the decision to prioritize traps over forearms.  Just feels better.  My calves were already pretty sore from those stairs I did yesterday, so that might be a little hidden gem there.  The calf raises themselves were far too light: definitely need to up the weight next time.  

* Really focused on the stretch with the GMs.  They were intense.  Could feel my abs really tense up and cramp at one point.

* Pleased with the Front Squats.  Really strong effort on them, especially in this low calorie state.  I didn’t fail on the widowmaker like I prefer to, but I distinctly felt the sensation of my soul trying to escape my body once I reached the top of the 17th rep, so I let the wobble hit me and then racked it.  

* Another successful day: I either progressed on weight or reps in all movements.  I tapped out on a few stretches, so I’ll need to sack up a little more.  This day also ran longer than I’d like: the calves are a time sink.  I need to factor that in.

* Weather was good enough for a short walk.  I have Friday off, so I’m going to lift again tomorrow and then get in whatever activity I can over the weekend.  The Mrs goes on a business trip on Sunday and comes home late Friday evening, which typically means a work week where I go full Velocity Diet since I won’t have anyone to eat lunch with.
