Training Log 8-20-2014: Fatgrip bench

If you look up at the top, I changed the birds to juggling clubs. Just one of those little things that makes me smile.

PARTY HARD!

Anyhoo, bench went alright . Hit rep PRs on 205 and 245, but couldn't keep them up for remaining sets. Next week I'm hoping they should be sustained. Skipped chin-ups this week. I think I've been doing too many and have a touch of bicep tendinitis, or possibly something up with my Teres Major. Truth be told, I'm not sure what's up, just that I have a stark soreness when pulling my body up vertically, located in the upper inside of my upper arm. Instead of chinups I did a lot of face-pulls and rehab lat pulldown work.

With my accessory work this week I've been really concentrating on the mind-muscle connection. Trying to approach it from a body-building perspective, to hit those muscles harder. Things like holding contractions at the top, isolating muscles in the movement, etc... I'm making an effort to really pay attention during my support/accessory work time.

Also, I strapped a weight-plate to my body to start loading my backbends. That felt awesome.
