Thursday - 11/16

Getting ready to rain again. Woke up "tight".
530AM
Lower Back Ab Warmup. Elbow traction with Jumpstretch bands.

Shrug - w/ Apollons Axle - 193x12, 243x12, 313x10, 243x12
Lower arms were shot after this. If you are new here, the Apollons Axle is a SMOOTH, non-revolving Olympic sized barbell. If you want to torture your grip, smooth and non-revolving is the way to go.

Grip Training

Left - Blob50 - 5 deadlift attempts. 1 of which got air born and managed to move it laterally more than the width of the implement. Each attempt finished with a hold.

Right - PDA Blobette - 47.0lbs base weight - 5 full deadlifts with +1.875Platemates. Quick pulls. But with all this damp weather this fucking thing shows no mercy. When Satan takes a dump, it comes out shaped like a PDA Blobette. ;)

Hands/forearms got pumped during shrugs and would not recover. Time to get the Jack's Blue Heat and concentrate on rest.
