I think low bar squatting yesterday made my shoulders and upper arms hurt for today.

Didn't affect front squats or OHP, but it did affect bench presses.

Foam Rolling

Band Pull Aparts

Shoulder Dislocations

  • 10

L-Sit V-Grip Pull Ups

  • Body weight (~200 lb): 5

Front Squat

Beltless and paused up to 280 lb.

Knee wraps at 370 lb and 405 lb to see how they feel.

Paused again at 265 lb.

  • 45 lb: 10
  • 100 lb: 10
  • 140 lb: 5
  • 190 lb: 3
  • 230 lb: 3
  • 280 lb: 2
  • 320 lb: 1
  • 370 lb: 1
    • knee wraps
  • 405 lb: 1 * PR!
    • 1RM, but used knee wraps, so maybe it doesn't count.
  • 265 lb: 3,
    • Paused.
    • +5 lb from last week, but 3 sets instead of 5.

Overhead Press

Here's the aftermath:

Shins

Shin damage from OHP :/

  • 235 lb: 2
    • Grip was off, stance was off
  • 235 lb: 3 * PR!
    • Couldn't re-rack the bar. Ended up dropping it, which somehow ended up hitting both of my shins :/

Reverse Grip Bench Press

  • 140 lb: 5
  • 230 lb: 3
  • 320 lb: X
    • Some sort of pain in along the upper arm near the bottom of the rep. Going to shut it down for now.

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.
