Today was fine for what it was to be.

Pressing went OK.

Accessory lifts need to change. I’m tired of the bent-over lat raises. Main reason? Since I had to cut back on what I did due to my elbow issues, I feel I need to change up exercises that get me more bang for my buck. It’s the reason compounds tend to be favored over isolation movements – isolation have their place, but all things considered right now? I think I’ll get more out of Face Pulls and generally serve the same purpose.

BB Rows too – they’re stressing my elbow a bit. Not in a bad way, just in a way that I don’t think is necessarily helping with healing. So, I’m thinking about changing to cable rows and playing around with different attachments to provide different grips (e.g. might use a neutral grip) and see how that affects things.

Anyways, stuff for later.

Right now, I just need to manage myself well so I can have a productive 1+ heavy week next week.
