Thurs, 10 Sept 15

After 2 weeks of training and school, I can say that my preferred training days seem to work relatively well with my class schedule this semester.  This is very good news and both my training and recovery of the overuse nonsense in my elbows seem to be progressing in the right direction.

Axle Bench

10x70

10x120

5x160

5x210

3x250

1x275

3x300

3x310

3x320

3x325 - I took video of this set to see how fast I was moving.  I was fairly happy with it, except that a fly landed on my face briefly during the eccentric of the third rep and I sort of went to swat it with my left hand as I was pressing back up, but thankfully I did not let go of the bar.

Axle Strict Press

10x70

5x120

5x135

3x155

10x170

I did these from the rack today in order not to have to clean the axle and risk irritating the tissues that are finally starting to get back to normal.  I do not like pressing from the rack - I never seem to get into as tight of a rack position as when I start with a clean or clean variation.

Close Grip Cable Rows

10x100

2x10x200

3x10x210

Incline Reverse Flys/Single Arm OH DB Tricep Press/Wtd Hypers

3x{12x20/15ea x 35/15x10}

My right low back still gets fatigued quickly on hypers, but the increased frequency does seem to be helping.
