Week 3. Work on speeding up my eccentrics on the bench. Damn elbows. Reading a bit and it may be from my squatting. Threw in band curls to get a good pump and promote healing.

W12 Squat

February 24, 2021
Before Supper

Week 12. Used a Thera-gun on my legs, shoulders, and elbows prior to going downstairs. Might've got the bar on my back a tad quicker. Working Taylor's suggestion at trying to get more of a low bar position. 

Was going to go for 5 with the 227k but I went out of groove a tad on the 3rd so rather than push and potentially get hurt I stopped.

Going to start adding GM and daily (or near daily) axle holds. Push the squat, cruise the deadlifts. I'll step progress the GM's between 3-5 sets, add 5-10k, repeat.

Week 2. I think I'm still a little cooked from Monday's squats. Getting a good ache in my biceps and inner elbows from the eccentric's taking too long. Speeding stuff up (no bounce though) and it's feeling better.

Bench Press 106k x 11/10/8
Band Pressdowns x 185r in 8 sets
Laying CS Row RP 110 x 7 - was hurting my elbows too much so I did ring rows to let the tracking fall where it needs.

Chilly in the basement. When the axle is that cold it makes the grip tricky. Lighter pull week to allow for a little recoup before another 3 week push.

Week 1. Could really feel my chest activating during the Bench singles. Weird. Was going to go for 10 reps but the 8th slowed a bit so I stopped there. I want to keep them paused and crisp.
