Monday heavy bench
My bicep tendons held up until the second set of Spoto presses. I'm making progress, slowly.
"speed bench" on Friday
I stuck with some exercises that don't stress my shoulders or bicep tendons.
Squats against chains
I worked up to a top set of 505+60# in chains for two sets of five. And I was back in flat soled shoes and all is right with the world again.
Monday close grip bench volume
No pain in my shoulder or bicep tendon today so I got some good work in.
Sunday speed squats and volume deads
Brutal SSB squats against monster bands with some good deadlifts to finish it up.
Monday volume benching and frustration
I didn't even get through warm ups without some pretty good pain in my bicep tendon, so I shut it down.
Friday speed bench
Crushed my triceps Friday...so I would have a good base going into the Arnold on Saturday for my tight T shirt

Friday speed bench as usual
Swiss press bar to save my shoulders and trying to be Chris Duffin Jr. with my shirt on.
Monday benching in my new Metal Jack shirt
This was my second time "in" this shirt. The first time I put it on at the compound and couldn't get it over my forearms.
First day back
After a week off, I got back to my schedule and met up with my training partners on Sunday.

Brainstorming my weaknesses and hoping I can find a meet around July/August
Monday max effort bench- floor press with chains

Handling the Missed Lift
We all do it. We miss a lift and then look around at our training partners. Sometimes you speak up immediately and sometimes they have first say.
