Woke at 241.8 lbs, looking similar to yesterday.
@mortdk thanks. Yes, they weren’t particularly hard. I think I had another one or two in there.

Woke looking similar to yesterday, maybe even slightly less bloated. Scale batteries are low, so no weight.

Woke at 242.2 lbs, maybe a little more bloated than yesterday but not by much. Feeling worked the fuck over. Yesterday was one of the hardest sessions I’ve done in a while.

It looks almost like it’s easy for you, except maybe for the last one or two reps.
You’re truly awesome and dedicated for this.
Respect Mark.

The weight isn’t heavy, no. How Greg makes us move it makes it feel like a tonne. That’s one of the aspects of his talent.
You’re very kind, but I’m just stubborn and determined.

Put a decent sized slice in my left index finger at work: I was brushing shavings off a panel and forgot I’d left my chisel behind my hand. Sharpened it yesterday too 
took about 10 minutes to stop the bleeding and TBH it makes gripping anything with my left hand a bit difficult. Nothing major, around 10 mm long and anywhere between two and four mm deep but on a fingertip it’s awkward.

1xmax - 7, haven’t hit a good set of these in a while but TBH I’m not sure if it’s the wider handles at Ultra; that I’ve done them after other back work; or I’m just heavier. Could be a combination, because that 3x6 I hit a couple of weeks back was ok by my syandards
Pull-ups. Still love 'em. Still not great at them. Still heavier than before (pretty much smack bang on 110 kg/242 lbsf #teampanora

I feel like arnie is secretly trolling us all with the Arnold press. It’s always felt and looked so weird

I’m with you on that - I think it’s dumb. I can’t see the benefit of it over a regular shoulder press.

It feels different though. Maybe the whole rotation is just a way to increase TUT?

I think the first part of the arnold mimics the lateral raise at some point, so it’s kind of a two in one… My shoulders hate them

Woke at 240.7 lbs, significantly less bloated. That’s what a good sleep will do.

Woke at 243.5 lbs, some bloating courtesy of last night’s burger and fries dinner. Nothing extreme though.

Damn that sucks. Sounds like your tool works good though, hah.
A few weeks ago, I was trimming my silky terriers in the tub when I clipped my finger with the scissors. Deep gash on the top of my index finger. Was surprised how long it took to stop bleeding, 10 mins or so like you. Initial reaction was “ffffffffUuUuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuUUuU”.
The craziest gash I ever had was from a head-to-head collision in basketball. That needed 11 stitches, right on top of my temple. I remember us both going for a loose ball, the collision, then going over to see if the guy was alright, then everyone just looking at me “all shocked”, then felt fluid rushing down my face, so I leaned over and a flood of blood poured out onto the court, just non-stop gushing. Some random dude gave me his shirt to help me clot it. Shirt was fully soaked in blood by the time the medics came over. That was so crazy. lmao.

Head wounds fucking piss out huh? Even nicking my head when shaving looks dramatic.
