I feel better.

My right side feels like it's sore and tender now, rather than a sharp, stabby pain I had earlier.

Foam Rolling

  • 20 minutes

High Bar Squat

Going to start off light, and add weight every set to see how it feels.

Not bad. Usually the first rep or two, I feel a little pain, but then it goes away.

I find that sticking my chest up and ass out seems to help.

  • 45 lb: 20
  • 75 lb: 10
  • 100 lb: 10
  • 140 lb: 10
  • 165 lb: 10
  • 190 lb: 10
  • 210 lb: 10
  • 230 lb: 10

Overhead Press

Taken off the racks.

Testing out a thumbless, or false grip starting at 140 lb since I'll be going light today.

  • 45 lb: 10
  • 75 lb: 8
  • 100 lb: 5
  • 140 lb: 3
  • 165 lb: 2
  • 190 lb: 1
  • 210 lb: 1
  • 230 lb: X,X
    • Missed first time with thumbless grip. Changed to my regular grip and missed. Normally I have no problems with this weight. Probably missed because Monday's bench press at 300x5x5 is affecting this, or that injury, or both.
  • 140 lb: 8

Barbell Curl

Started from the top (instead of the bottom), as described in the book Starting Strength.

  • 45 lb: 10
  • 60 lb: 10
  • 75 lb: 10,10,10

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
