Noon

Arm wrestling technique work.


Before Supper

1) Paused Squats - All Beltless
45 x 5, 3
135 x 3
225 x 1
315 x 1
365 x 1
405 x 1
435 x 1 - Where I expected to max. Felt super light. PR
455 x 1 - Boom! Nice, feel good rep without a grind. I could probably match my regular belted squat max of 465# that I did just a few weeks ago with a paused beltless I'm guessing. This is a 35# PR from a few weeks, plus I'm doing it without a belt whereas the previous PR was with one.

2) Paused Camber Bar GM's - No Belt
85 x 3
135 x 3
225 x 3
315 x 3
385 x 3 x 5r - Easy Peasy

Grip Work Done Between Core Work Sets

1) Thumbless 2" Dumbbell Pulls - All Past knees
105 x 3
125 x 3, 3, 5

2) Dan's Blobbin' w/Blob50
Attempts x 2 - Feeling light!
Iso's x 3
Drags x 3 - Doing something different this time. I'm using the same hand to go back and forth to failure plus a couple of extras before switching hands. Keeping a lot of tension in the hand for a longer period. Should help.

3) Guillotine Plate Load Gripper - All weight just plate
50 x 10
70 x 2 x 10r

I didn't bother with any upper body assistance as my arm was a little twinged, just a little but I didn't want to bugger with it.
