Sunday - 11/5

730AM
Lower Back ab warmup.
Sore from yesterday's lat workout.

Upright Rows w/ Apollons Axle - 123lbs 10sets of 10. Fast pace. Rests were a gulp of coffee.

This also left hands "pumped".

Grip Training

Left Hand - Blob50 - 4 foam deload. 10 sets of 3. concentrating on getting air. Worked up to +2.5lbs of Platemates. Could not quite clear foam with the 2.5lbs.
Left hand has improved considerably since last month. Wrist is starting to feel pretty solid. NO BOUNCING. The foams are fairly smooshy, so there would not be much of a bounce anyway.

Right Hand - PDA Blobette - 46.5lbs base weight. 10 full deadlift singles. Last 7 were with +2.5lbs of Platemates. On top of that last 3 singles were full deadlift and farmer walks across the stall mat, then setting it down.

Wrist leverage twists with big 3/4" ratchet and some Platemates. All reps slow and controlled.

Also worked in some elbow traction using a ceiling hook and a purple Jumpstretch band. I remembered a Westside DVD where Dick Hartzell demonstrated this among other valuable stuff. Anyway, left elbow feels MUCH better. I'm going to work this in throughout the day.
