Press
5x125
5x135
5x145

Fat gripz press 115
5x10

Notes: May need to widen the grip on these.  Lockout feels miles long, and my triceps are fatiguing well before my shoulders.

DB rows 140
10x10

Notes: Deloading everything at this point, giving my hamstring a shot at healing, and taking pressure off my elbows.

Bench
5x235
3x270
8x300

Notes: Starting to really figure crap out here.  Learning how to replicate the thumbless feeling with a full grip by pressing the bar against the outer edges of my hands.

FG pull ups

Chins
3x12

(6) Box Squat 475
1x5

Notes: Been feeling some pain in my hamstring recently, but it's not the "hurt" I had from my previous injury, nor is it in the same location.  My theory is that the old injury is mending, and that my hamstring has been compensating for the injured part by recruiting muscles not normally utilized for movements.  In either case, nothing I did today made things worse.

Reverse band squats 275
4x10
1x20

Notes: When I point my toes forward, it seems to torque my old injury.  Keep them flared for now.

Deadlifts 495
1x7

Notes: Past my peak on these.  Had more reps in me, but it would've been more strain than I want on this day.  Supposed to be light.  Going to cut it down to 485 or 465+chains.

Deathsquat 275
1x20

Notes: Knees are feeling beat up from my hamstring rehab.  Wearing my heavy duty sleeves for now.

Bench
3x220
3x250
10x285

Notes: 3 week is the best week.  Always.

Fat gripz bench 195
5x10

Notes: Last set was a struggle.  Deciding on if I set the weight too high for this cycle or if I just need to learn the new movement.  Next week will help decide.  In a quasi full grip/false grip state with these.

Notes: Tendonitis is starting to lessen.  All the open hand training mahy be paying off.
