Poor session. Training press yesterday and then trying bench today... not good. My right front delt aches as does my right bicep. The old sciatica was playing up all weekend (except when deadlifting) so I think I'll take the rest of the week off and rethink my training with Dec 20th in mind.

Tried grippers today and I am still off. I DEFFO not training the rest of the week. My right elbow/bicep aches, my right front shoulder aches and my sciatica hurts. Ibuprofen will be my friend as will rest. Ouch! :cry

Man the frigging pain again! It seems, from a process of elimination that if I strain (as per when working out) with my arm at a right angle (curls, pulldowns and grippers) that I start to get an annoying ache etc. By the end I was unable to squeeze down as hard as I wanted to because it was so damned painful. I took some painkillers and had another coffee and by the end of the pinch on the euro it had started to ease off.

Wednesday PM
At Whey Gym
I was gonna do this session tomorrow but I'm expecting several deliveries. I also took the pain killers beforehand although I'm aching a little now.
CG Bench
60-kilos x 8 reps, 100-kilos x 6 reps, 140-kilos x 1 rep, 165-kilos (166.7-kilos or 367lbs* as per note) x 4 x 1 reps *I only noticed after a while I was using the thicker heavier bar so add 1.7-kilos to all weights.
Providing I took my time I got all the reps. Next time I want 167.5-kilos x 4-6 x 1 reps.
Super setted with
LPD
80-kilos x 8 reps, 120-kilos x 6 reps, 147.5-kilos x 3 x 6 reps

Leg Ext
[/u]80-kilos x 8 reps, 125-kilos x 8 reps, 195-kilos (stack plus 50kg) x 8 reps
Leg Curl
25-kilos x 8 reps, 40-kilos x 8 reps, 55-kilos x 6 reps (H)
Leg Press
0-kilos x 10 reps @, 120-kilos x 8 reps, 240-kilos x 8 reps, 420-kilos x 8 reps (belts on wraps off), 700-kilos (all the machine will hold) x 0 with the 3 pads, dropped to no pads and did 8 reps (but very shallow) so did with 1 pad and did another 8 reps. 2 pads, if we have them, is probably about right.

Damned right arm aching again once the hard work started. I bit the bullet to do what I needed to do but now, as I type this, it hurts. I also took 2 painkillers BEFORE leaving and it's still annoying me.
Torsion grippers
usual warm ups
L/H: to BBE x VN, VN, VN (all about 2-3mm), VVN, VVN, VN, VVN, HG350 x 1 rep for fun. On paper this should be harder tension wise but I can close it due to the thicker handles shortening the close required.
R/H: to 3.5 x 1 rep, SE x 1 rep, Paul's easy 4 x 1 rep. 4.01 rated 4 x VVN, VN, VVN, VVN, VVN , VVN Most were 1-2mm off at best. Just damned annoying I'm not getting it as well as a few weeks ago. That said, upon checking, I only did Vulcan work 2 nights ago. Another day and it might have been better.
