Tension was my friend though, the harder I squeezed the less it hurt. A2 Bench Press bar x 10 reps 70kg x 5 reps 90kg x 5 reps --Unrack was an issue 110kg x 3 reps --Unrack was a pain, not that it hurt, more like my nervous system is cutting power. 130kg x 1 reps --Almost couldn't unrack it 140kg x 1 rep --Ok this is silly the unrack was harder than the lift. My guess is my CNS is detecting the damage in my hand and putting the brakes on to prevent further injury. I decided to listen at this point and abandon bench. I hit the minimum weight I wanted for today so not a complete loss. Weirdly there was no pain bu there wasn't much else either. A2 Horizontal Elbow Strikes x 5 reps (Each Side) x 5 reps (Each Side) x 5 reps (Each Side) x 5 reps (Each Side) x 5 reps (Each Side) x 5 reps (Each Side) Stopped counting here, I just went nuts since bench was a right off. I'll see how things are on Monday but if bench is going to be poo I'll just do two overhead sessions instead. Ive heard that its quite common for an injury to switch of strenght like this,at least you managed what you needed, out of interest what are horizontal elbow strikes   | ||

The injury site is right on the knuckle so it could well be my hand rather than finger which would make sense why gripping is ok but painful. Whereas pressing just said: NOPE! My other hobby is martial arts (hence the kick to the hand and subsequent injury), the elbow strikes were into my heavy bag. I'm very strong at straight attacks but rubbish at anything with rotation. I need to get more reps in and practice technique. I've done the same for kicks before and it worked wonders. Takes about a thousand reps before I can tell the difference but worth the effort. | ||

my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | Thursday 28th September 2017 Feel rough today, my daughter is off school with flu, hopefully I haven't pick that up. I'm flying out to Spain tomorrow morning for a work conference so I'll be missing my training session anyway (two Fridays in a row!!!). Sacked off all the fluff today and concentrated on the important stuff. AMH Press bar x 0 reps --Damn this is harder than it looks 10kg (Short bar) x 10 reps 10kg (Short bar) x 10 reps 10kg (Short bar) x 10 reps --Not sure I'm doing this right. Squat 70kg x 5 reps 90kg x 5 reps 120kg x 5 reps 140kg x 5 reps 160kg x 3 reps 180kg x 1 rep --Belt on 200kg x 1 rep 200kg x 1 rep 210kg x 1 rep --10kg above my current training max  . I almost went for 220kg (which would have gone) but I called it here.I got a better angle today, the stripes on my leg give a false impression of depth. | ||

I'm strongly considering running a squat specialisation routine at some point. It worked well in the past. AMH Press was odd, I liked it but it just felt weird. I think it's a good thing that I'm bad at it, means there's progress to be made. | ||

AMH Press is strange, the empty bar was too much today. Not sure if this is due to my dodgey hand or simply a lack of strength. Fingers crossed it's a strength thing as I stand to gain the most if it is. I'll be doing them regularly. | ||

Well I got half of 250, the down half lol. I maxed at 240. It would be good to have another go and I will when the time is right. | ||

On the whole it was very enjoyable, after all how often do you get an all expenses paid trip to a 5* hotel. The food was amazing and its fair to say I more than over indulged. Had some fun by the pool with some work mates www.instagram.com/p/BZq5xksgkLILHdsfDCucunJmjRNr0MwiFoHDCs0 www.instagram.com/p/BZq9PJ6AN7n6VKB8rc3sjjwJyOW2SyPUPJGMtk0 On the Saturday evening I was most flattered when one of the young ladies I work with was shall I say willing to be affectionate. However I'm a married man and lovely as she is at 19 she's far too young. Then there were the young guys, oh man they're dick heads. One of them got pissed up and kept groping the girls who were less than impressed. I had a word and told him to back off which he did. However only went away for 5 minutes or so then decided he would come up behind me and headlock me. Bad move. I felt the attack and reacted without thinking, in fact I was out before it was even fully on. He's lucky I recognised him, my first counter attack would have been a knee to the groin. I stopped it mid way and just shoved him to the floor instead. He go the message and went off looking for a taxi. I'm just glad he directed that as me and not one someone else. The last big event and to me the scariest was when one of the girls decided to go balcony surfing and climb from one to the other. This was done by climbing over the wall and trying to to hold on while shimming across to the side. It didn't go well and she fell off. Luckily for her I had seen what was happening and despite being drunk had managed to get underneath and caught her before she hit the deck. Weirdly I was more shaken than she was. It was first floor height so she could have done herself some nasty damage. As it happens the impact was taken by my spine. Back has been stiff since it happened. This seriously s**t me up. All in all an eventful weekend which needed more recovery than I anticipated. However all is good again now but I'll take these few days as a reload and begin again seriously on Monday RELOAD A1 1xDB Rows 40kg x 10 reps (Each Side) 50kg x 10 reps (Each Side) 70kg x 5 reps (Each Side) 70kg x 5 reps (Each Side) 80kg x 5 reps (Each Side) --These feel like 70 did a few weeks ago A2 Bench Press bar x 10 reps 60kg x 5 reps 80kg x 5 reps 100kg x 5 reps 125kg x 5 reps 125kg x 5 reps 125kg x 5 reps -- 15 reps @ 75%. I'll repeat this weight next week and get more total reps | ||
