There’s no question, my triceps are a weak point, and perhaps my anterior delts as well. It makes me wonder if my assistance benching should be something like immediately dropping to 135 with a close-grip and working to pound out 5×10 across or something. The new position, the new technique is certainly MUCH better on my shoulder, but it emphasizes triceps more and obviously they need more work. But, it’s all good. I’ll get back there.

I did stretch… didn’t foam roll, but at least got some stretching in. Nevertheless, my left calf cramped up like crazy as I left the gym. I think I’m just low on sodium because I’ve been putting salt on everything, so I think my body is down and craving hard. Wife’s cooking is very low-sodium because of heart issues in her family history, so I know in general I don’t get enough. Need more.

Anyways, rolling on….
