I try to avoid training 3 days in a row with the way I lay out my training since doing my primary upper body day immediately following my primary lower body day without an off day in between almost always causes my upper body lifting to suffer. But with everything going on getting ready to start orientation for PT school, I had to do what I had to do. It wasn't too bad, but I could definitely tell the difference in my recovery versus having a rest day in between.

10x195 - I used a lower angle than two weeks ago when I had to skip this and also a normal barbell instead of my axle and it was much more friendly to my elbows. I know it is some sort of stupid technique fault that is causing me the pain, but I can't figure it out at present so adjusting the incline seems like a good fix for now.

That was all for today. All I missed was triceps and abs and once I get on a set schedule again for school, I should be able to be much more consistent in all aspects of my training.
