Before Supper 

Testing how the axle feels again after a few weeks away. Added 5% to my last NN session. I’d say that it’s right about there. Taking such small jumps on the bench seems to hurt my max weight potential. I guess I’ll have to work on that. 

Bench Press wu to
105.5/110.5/113/115.5/118/121/123.5k x 5r - pause last reps

DO Axle - Sumo wu to
283 x 1/2/3/1/2/3/1/2/3r

Chins w/Lt band x 5/5/5r

135 Baby Inch x 5 x 1r

Rice Digs x 2 x 40s

2-3/8” NN wu to
273 x 1/2/3/1/2/3/1/1/1

 

Saxon Bar 155 x 1

 

Was getting really dizzy for some reason so I stopped and check my BP. Nope, must be blood sugar or my ear bugging me as it’s been ringing all weekend. I’ll resume pinch after NN on Tuesday when I do grip again.

I’m thinking it might be some vertigo. Still going on...

Had that once.  Rolled over too fast in bed.  Room was spinning for a couple hours.  Dizzy for 3 or 4 days.  Weirdest thing ever.

Wasn’t sure how this was going to go as I had a dull headache all of the way through (probably dehydrated). Felt very strong and crisp right through though.

Left was giving me trouble on the baby Inch stopping me just shy of lockout for a couple of sets whereas the right was very strong with all lifts. I need to bring my globe circus bell into the basement... without breaking any bones or getting a sprain.

Quick lunchtime session. Wore my new boots (Thursday Captains) to help break them in. If I don’t hit my worksets proper later this week I’ll drop to 95% and work back up with 5# jumps as a bit of a reset. Bench and pinch after work.

I've been fighting a cold the last few days.  Hardly getting any work in... honest or dishonest.

Thanks buddy. This was one of those ones I had to force myself to do. Finally made my way into the basement at 8:00pm. I hate lifting right before bed.
