I got the 200 press attempt about half-way up, but didn't really have a shot at it.  I was almost tempted to dip and press, but tried to keep strict form.  I also was hoping that doing presses before bench would help my explosiveness, but not really.

It seems like right around 4-5 reps now on pull-ups, is when my forearm/elbow start to hurt.  I'm trying to avoid the things that aggravate it as much as possible, but am definitely anxious to get back into doing these for higher reps.

Today was my first real session with a trap bar for deadlifts.  It was a little awkward, but kinda fun.  I didn't feel super-solid with the reps, but I am really thinking about working this into the rotation on a regular basis.

Trap Bar Deadlift

Axle Curls

I've only been doing trap bar deadlifts for a few weeks, but they are definitely feeling stronger each session.  I wasn't planning on going for 500 today, but 460 felt so strong, I figured, "Why not?"  Curls continue to cause pain in my forearm/bicep.  I wanted to go heavier today, but it was starting to get worse on the negatives, and I just stopped at 75.  Overall, my forearm/bicep have been improving, but the pain and issues are still there and causing pain.

That's always more than a pleasant surprise when you outdo your expectations.  Nice pull!

Thanks Eric!  When I first started doing these, I wasn't so sure how it'd go, as it felt so awkward.  But they are turning into something fun.  Going to keep trying to up the poundage with them the next few months.

Yeah, it takes a few sessions to get a handle on your stability. Great exercise, overall!
