Good day, but ran out of gas.

Really that’s all there is to say. The day went generally well, but I was just out of gas. Hooray carbs. 😉

One bit of note is the arm pain. While it’s nowhere near as bad as it was with flat bench pressing, there is still some irritation while pressing. Today I noticed it after the high-rep sets, and often that’s when it flares up the worst. It makes me wonder about exploring something like a 10×3 (10 sets, 3 reps each) approach. Just whatever’s needed so I can keep making progress and work through the issues.

Flies. It’s not about the weight, but about getting as far and deep a stretch as possible, then starting out of the hole purely by pec contraction — no momentum, no bounce, no bending the elbows, nothing to gain mechanical advantage. The stretch is important for me, because I need that stretch, I need that work to improve my range of motion and shoulder health.

Decided to do 100 rep curls again, because last week was so much fun. 🙂 Hopefully I don’t get the wicked soreness this time around.
