Notes: I whip-lashed or pulled a muscle in my neck during Weighted Pull-ups. Sucks. Neck hurt during rows but not during dips so much. Still hurt 3 days later.

I have an odd work schedule so I lift whenever possible.

Notes: My left wrist (weak wrist) got a bad pain from doing the near max Rack Pulls. Next time, I’m gonna keep the weight down and do it ramping style (Perfect Rep) like taught in I, Bodybuilder. That method to me seems like it’ll be very effective when doing Rack Pulls.
