Week 8 Day 1

Squeezed my workout in after a long day. Felt decent on squats but energy/strength took a nose dive on bench. Just didn’t have it in me tonight. Also, my elbow has been flaring up a bit during pressing movements. Probably bothering me more mentally, but I’ll have to try and experiment with different grips so as not to aggravate it further.

Week 9 Day 3

Elbow still bothering me on bench, so tried widening my grip just a tad for all the back off sets and it seemed to help. Will try this going forward. Hate to change my grip so far into the program but I don’t wanna pull back at this point.

Week 9 Day 4

Got crushed with work this weekend, 49 hours in 3 days. Skipped the RDL’s tonight, but just lucky to squeeze ANY lifts in.

Also, realized tonight it’s time to buy some more plates. I couldn’t really achieve proper RPE on the deadlifts since I was using one 45# plate to stand on for the deficit. Did what I could.

Elbows feeling decent, but did the CGBP with a little tempo to take it easy on them. Feels like they’re going in the right direction.
