Friday's Grunting

December 28, 2012
Before Supper

Wasn't sure how today would go. Yesterday my freaking neck and back were absolutely killing me. Liniment, TENS machine, huge dosages of Robax, etc. were not touching it. I woke up today feeling better but I still couldn't turn my head to the right. Leave it to some nice pulls to straighten everything out :D

With tonight's pulls I focused on changing up my form a bit and I think they went a bunch smoother at the lockout. One thing I've noticed since putting weight back on (nearly 280#) is it's getting difficult to hook grip the bar due to my hands pudging up a bit.
