Ok, so today sucked. Lots of promise and ready to rock, but I created a problem. Yesterday I was working on my motorcycle and tweaked my left elbow replacing the fuel pump. Thought it was just a getting-old tweak, took advil, and forgot about it. Nope.
After the pullups today, my elbow was on fire. Feels like onset of tendinitis -- that kind of ache. Nuts.
I got all my sets if pullups and tried to warm up the incline curls. Even the warm-up made my arm want to fall off, so I decided stupidly to try the bench. Didn't want to have to write a bunch of nothing in the log, so I set to the warm-up. A great big cupful of nope. Got to work weight and called the day. Got the arm on ice at the moment, trying to type one-handed. So today will have to be a mulligan.
Drank the Results and Shelby mix with half a Spike in it as usual, wore elbow sleeves and wrist wraps, and warmed up with the bar.
Pull-ups, fat grip, wide: 3 x 15 smooth. All sets were +45kg. Started with a set of 10 and then the three of 15. Felt pretty good, but elbow barked between.
Incline bicep curl: miss.
Bench press, regular bar: Warmed up, miss.
Standing calf: Straight sets of 50 reps.
I did the calves in between sets of wimpiness.
Ice and try again another day. Better luck to all of you.
