Today didn’t start out so great. My arm pain flared up yesterday pretty bad. I was hauling some 50 lb bags of corn and somehow that caused my biceps and forearms to hate life. My grip strength dropped as well. Not good. Felt a little residual this morning, and things didn’t start off so great. Pull-ups not only dropped in reps, but they were hurting – enough that I told myself if this gets worse I was going to pack it in and go home.

However, things actually got better as I went along. Yes I still felt weaker overall today due to the problems, but after rows things just felt better, and I’m still feeling better here a couple hours later at home. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow.

Anyways, not too much to say. Adding in some intensity techniques. I need to up the weight on shrugs. That’s about the only other comment I have right now.
