Well, my elbows feel horrible, I think the wrist wrench is the issue. Also, I'm gonna wrap the handle so it has some grip to it, because the difference is huge when it's slick and when my hand sticks to it.

Last training in this cycle. I'm feeling beat and tired, my elbows, thumbs and fingers are aching all the time for the last month, but everything is stronger, thicker, denser. I gotta pick and choose what I'm gonna test when I come back from my rest period that's gonna be 5-7 days, just some light training.

Difference between the 1st and 2nd FG deadlift was the bar diameter, first one was done on a bar with a slightly higher diameter 60 mm vs 58 mm and it makes a huge difference. I went to the gym just to try the challenge from Adam Glass, hanging one handed on FG - well that didn't go well.

400 lb double overhand barrier is broken, on a garbage, slick bar too. I've hurt my back in the same spot I did on the front squat a couple of weeks ago, but I just powered trough. I'm definitely feeling it now. I think with a normal barbell, the one that actually has some friction, the result can be even higher.

My golfer's elbow is getting worse, but my grip is still getting stronger and stronger. I paused an extra day between workouts, since I went to a speed reading training, and I wanted to be 100% focused. It worked out well, I went from 309 wpm to 558 wpm, in Serbian, which is a very high result. I would advise anyone to train their reading speed.
