Monday, July 17, 2006 - BP BP: bar x 10-20 x 3sets, 135 x 10 x 2sets, 225 x 3 x 5sets Chest-Supported T-Bar Shrugs: 45lbs x 10, 90lbs x 10, 135 x 10 x 3sets Shrugs (snatch grip): bar x 10, 135 x 10, 225 x 6 x 3sets
My right shoulder and trap were feeling really tricky today so I decided to do some shrugs to work out the kinks a little. I think it helped a little.
edit: After a lot of consideration, I've decided against doing the full meet on August 12 - it would be an extra $300 and a weekend that I really don't want to give up for a, at best, 1250 total... Instead, I'll be doing a push/pull meet on August 19. I have NO idea where I'll be for that, but both those lifts suck so I can use the motivation... I'll plan on hitting a full meet hopefully in late October.

Right shoulder was bothering me as usual, but the ladders made it a little easier to take. Also, I tried taking a narrower grip and tucking my elbows (as I do when I bench) and this took some of the stress off of it.

Yeah, I was too sore to do much else but I was getting cabin-fever and had to get out.
Monday, July 24, 2006 - BP BP: bar x 20 x 3sets, 135 x 10 x 2sets, 185 x 6, 205 x 6 x 4sets Reverse Grip BP: 135 x 6 x 3sets
I did the reverse grip BP because I thought it might be easier on my right shoulder, but it wasn't. It felt pretty easier and I would have gone heavier, but it was hard on my wrists and I was worried that the bar would fall out of my hands - I'll work up slowly on the exercise.

*=w. belt
Later that evening... Farmer's Walk w. 55lb 2" diameter DBs
The sets w. 365 were gut-busting hard... I was going to do ladders, but I couldn't stomach the thought of starting back at 1 rep and working back up, so I ended up just doing three sets. I started a fourth set of triples, but tweaked my right knee on the first rep and ended the session right there.
The farmer's walk was really hard. I never use my 2" DBs anymore, but thought it might help out the wrist issues I've been having. I'm ridiculously weak at this right now and walking 20 yards with them was harder than it's ever been.

I wussed out on the ladder and didn't make it to ten reps.... On the second attempt, I just totally wimped out and quit at six... I am thoroughly disgusted with myself.

Hey, I forgot I am busy on Sunday. How about we make it next week. I will talk with Smyth. I might come up during the week.

That's fine. Next weekend is the meet, right? We'll just have to hold off on a training session for a while.
I went to a massage therapist yesterday. It was awesome! I plan on going back when I can afford it!

Went out of town for a few days with the family. Got to workout one night in the hotel "fitness center". Luckily, it had DBs up to 50lbs. Signs were clearly posted everywhere "No guests under 18 years old allowed", but several wandered in anyway - they all left as soon as they saw me.
