motherfucker. i should not try to set PR's on mondays. i don't eat enough on weekends. first set of 5 was challenging but i got all the reps without much grinding, even on the fifth. but my head started to hurt even during warm ups. my friend suggested it might be a trigger point in my shoulder that the bar was pressing on. she dug her elbow into my shoulder and, yep, seems that's it. did not rest long enough before the second set, failed on fourth rep. was too psyched out by the third set, despite extra rest, so i unracked, tried to start a rep, gave up, and reracked. better luck next time.
- pull up x 10+3+3+3
- lacrosse ball and PVC pipe work around shoulders and neck. elbow uncomfortable, dips not worth it.
- SS1: pull down x 15,10,10
- SS1: hyperextension +5 x 10,10,10
- SS1 info: switched to black band for second and third set of pull downs. it's too thick, i don't even think i'm heavy enough to keep it down. will try blue band next time. green is easy now.
- stretch
i'm actually not that pissed. i have something concrete to work on for the squats -- loosening that trigger point in my left shoulder -- and the 305 x 5 either ties or exceeds my 5-rep PR. now to eat.
think i'm gonna get some creatine and see whether it helps.
