Entry #760

ME upper

Overhead pin press:
135 x 5
165 x 5
185 x 5
205 x 4.5
215 x 2.5
> Abysmal, but that's okay. They're new, and much harder than I anticipated - harder than the standard overhead press, to me. There isn't the drive off the shoulders I can get when starting deep.
> Sticking point is high up.

Afterward, I did a set of Bradford press with 135, since I'd fallen short on sets and couldn't get up to 225 on pin press. I like them a lot. There's constant tension. I made sure not to lower too low, but I may have overdone it and gone too shallow behind the head. Set right on the ears.

Close-grip bench press:
205 x 8
205 x 8
205 x 8
> Right shoulder hurt, initially. Need a better warm-up, next time.

Weighted pull-ups:
45 x 6
45 x 6
45 x 5

Cable curls

I'm learning to balance exercises more proficiently. From now on, pulling will be on the same plane as pushing in a given session. Pull-ups today completely healed my shoulder.

Entry #759

I went to the track and did HIIT earlier tonight. Since I ran a bit yesterday, my shins wore out like economic girly men. I managed to complete a mile before I needed to rest my feet, but I wasn't out of breath, which is a good sign. On the first two laps the high intervals were more runs than sprints, but I went all out on the last two. I'm as fast as ever, except with an improved stride from all the stretching I'm doing (which I did for thirty minutes beforehand).

Now, my shin hurts like hell because afterward I practiced kicking a tree. I also punched it, but it didn't hit me back or anything. Pussy.

Entry #758

Bench press:
135 x 3
185 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 3
295 x 3
315 x 3
325 x 3
> There's a good PR. I expected to lose gains from all the cardio I've been doing, combined with a severe lack of sleep last week. Not so.
I did a terrific warm-up by wrapping a resistance band around the width of a random cable station, positioning my back against it, holding onto the ends of the bands, and punching against them. It's very helpful on the shoulder joints.

Arnold press:
85 lb. dumbbells 8,8,7

Gym closed, so I did chin-ups and ab work at the track.

	Entry #757 Sleep has been abysmal due to the heat. Twice, I've stayed up all night until crashing at 2 PM before waking up drenched in perspiration by 6:30 that evening. I'm exhausted now from hiking, though, and I may sleep outside where it's cooler, so this should get my schedule back on track.

	Entry #756 DE went very well today. I'm only doing speed bench for one week before max bench to derive the benefits directly. I don't really see any point in doing it afterward in preparation for overhead pressing the follow Monday. This strict rotation of two weeks on everything doesn't really need to be adhered to, I've come to find, as long as I'm switching and matching where appropriate.
