Thursday - 10/26

530AM
Lower back/ab warmup

Upright Rows w/ Apollon's Axle - 123lbs 6x20 Shoort rests.
Aside from the pulling muscles, this hits the lower arms pretty hard.

Grip training

Left - BLOB50 - Index finger tap, toe to toe ARCs. Good control. Callous between thumb and index, split. Had it filled with new-skin.

Right - PDA Blobette - 46lbs base weight
1 full single with base.
6 single deadlifts with +3.75lbs in Platemates. Damp weather, surface on this fuking thing is brutal. If your PDA Blobette is like mine, you will know this is Pretty good weight. If you are just starting with it, it may seem like miles away, just knuckle under and get to work. The Platemates are invaluable.

Left elbow has a pain on the outside, right on the joint, when I extend the arm. I may have let the handles go too late on the Hammer Row machine the other day.

Skipped any Rolling Thunder work, it was too irritating on the left elbow.

Worked in a few high rep sets with the Armory forearm thing. This is a great device. Definitely not some $200.00 fad contraption that you will grow sick of.
