That was it. My nerve pain was really bad today and after this it got alot worse, so I wasn’t able to get in any biceps work. But had a good back session nonetheless. Lifted at my home gym today, so all cable movements were plate loaded

Hurricane knocked the power out yesterday and it got hot AF in the house. Sweated all day and I didn’t get in the gym yesterday and ended missing my speed bench session. So hopefully I’ll be rested up enough for my heavy bench session on Monday. Other than the power getting knocked out we didn’t have much else going on
