TRX ROWS
3 sets of 10 with 15 seconds rest
*felt tired, especially in my shoulders, so I quit

I tore the velcro clean off my EFS heavy wrist wraps so I had to go to my shorter Inzer ones. Going to have to wait until next week to replace them.

SQUAT
45x5, 135x2, 225/315/405/455/495x1, (added knee wraps) 545x1, 585x0 (sky high)

This was just a bad idea. I'm gonna ease up on the squats and really try to get my bench to 400 over this cycle. I think I'm just beating myself up. I've already got a 10 lbs PR without wraps, so I'll just ride that for awhile.

I loved the slingshot. I couldn't believe how much support it was giving and how hard it was to get it the weight down with the lower weights. Once I got into the 400s, it was easier to get down. I imagine it will stretch some as I use it. Overall, glad I got it.

Not bad tonight. I got a wee bit forward on the 545 so I decided that was my max for tonight. Dropped down and did a triple but I felt like hell so I just quit.

I've finally given up on just pushing my arm when it hurts like it does. This type of thing just drives me insane. I hate having these "pseudo-injuries" that are just enough to keep me from doing what I like. I had zero motivation to go in tonight knowing what I had on the schedule. Once this gets to feeling better, I'll go back to my original plan. For now, I'm hoping that one pressing session per week will allow it to heal sufficiently.
