Friday:
Short session at Primal. First time at the new location. My chest/heart was acting up, so I couldn't do a huge amount, but it was fun and nice to see Zac again. And to meet Charles for the first time. At the end, I went to the back room and Charles gave me some pointers on my deadlifting and squat technique. Turns out that in my efforts to not stress the back, I stressed it more! I also discovered my hips are extremely tight and my ROM for squat/DLs is a lot smaller than I thought it was if I keep my back striaght and upright (relatively so). Apparently, I've been leaning over far too much. I've been doing bodyweight squats trying to just increase my ROM with the proper pelvic tilt. Seems to be working okay.
Saturday:
Rosslyn jam. Tons of fun. Involved these very intense pull-ups that required a massive amount of grip strength and left my fingers sore for awhile... which brings us to...
Sunday:
ME Upper Body Day
ME Bench Press
1x5 135lbs
1x5 145lbs
1x5 155lbs
3x3 165lbs
Supplemental
1x8 and 1x6 Chin-ups
Superset
3x8 30lbs seated overhead press+miniband pull aparts
---
My grip was SHOT still. I noticed during the chin-ups when, eventually, I could hang on only by my fingertips. So I cut everything pretty short and plan on taking another rest day tomorrow.
