Other than whatever happened to my upper back, it was a good session.

During either the second or third warm-up set, I felt a sudden sharp pain in my upper back. I have no idea what happened — pop some fascia? I don’t know, but there’s this pain in my upper back… under the trap? rhomboid? hard to say exactly where it is from an anatomy chart perspective, but I know where the pain is. 🙂 I can still feel it, even as I write this. I did something, but it didn’t get too much in the way of the session. Still, I have to keep an eye on it.

Otherwise, the session felt good. I’m remembering to “go light” on my assistance pressing, so I can be sure to get more reps.

I am happy to be doing dips. I dunno… I like them.

Didn’t drag the sled… I just didn’t.

Diet wise… felt energized. Maybe I’m getting into the swing of CBL. Too early to tell, but at least I’m not feeling so flat any more.
