Afternoon

Felt good. Got the work done I laid out without any grinders although reversing those Zottman's on the way down were getting tough. Controlled with the elbows by your sides this is a tough little exercise. Arm work today was just part of my regular work and goes towards #31daysofarms #augustofarms.

Squats felt really strong but I stuck with the programming. Probably could've paused 3 x 10r.

Pipes are getting a bit of cumulative stress now as those dumbbell curls were damn tough. Massive pump.

Noon and Before Supper

#31daysofarms #augustofarms

Wow my low back is blowed up! Kept away from the barbell shrugs due to that as well. Kept the pipe work to just a bit of medium volume chins and the iso's.

Squats felt really crisp and strong. Could've did another set but I remembered the adage "stimulate, don't annihilate".

Just the squats and leg curls at lunch.

My low back is still pumped and angry from yesterday's squats. I'll also reiterate that the ring rows give my upper back a pump like nothing else.

My back is still gimped so just standing straight is a challenge right now. Figured I'd just hit a couple of sets to stay in the August of Arms challenge though.

Running around all day today. Back is still bugging me. Got home and remembered I've still got work to do for Jedd's #31daysofarms #augustofarms I wanted 100 but just couldn't do it today. I want 100+ by months end.

#31daysofarms #augustofarms

Biceps are fine, triceps are still feeling Saturday. I figured I'd give a go at repping out the bar with skullcrushers. I'll also note that when I do them I take the bar over the top of my head to the bench, not just to my forehead.

BB Skullcrushers x 30, 20, 20, 15, 15 - wicked pump!
