3x4: pause deadlift 179 kg
3x12: pullup
Elbow better than it was a week ago, but doing cleans or curls still seems likely to make it worse, so…

So, today’s the anniversary of the day I joined this site? I’m not even sure what year it was, 2006 maybe?

The pullups don’t hurt too much, but I’m starting to think they don’t really help, either, so I tried some light curls. Probably the first time I’ve done real curls with decent form in a couple of years. Ah well. We’ll see how things feel in a few days.

I’ve always been doing deads touch and go, figured I’d try doing a dead stop every rep for a change. Just stop long enough to let the tension go out of my arms, then pull up. Not THAT much tougher, but definitely tougher on the grip. Elbow’s still not 100% so instead of doing pulling that involves bending it, I just did more deadlift volume than usual, which is also good when trying to do things a new way.

Again, taking it easy, just did some very light rows more as rehab than training.

Trying to do a few light cleans felt OK on the way up, still hurts decelerating the bar on the way down (no, I don’t have bumper plates or anything). Inverted rows and a short set of bodyweight pullups also felt totally OK. so definitely getting better.

The thing I hate about squats is that you convince yourself you can do one more, then two more, and then you can’t do less on the next set, and pretty soon it adds up to actual work.

Been doing pause deads pretty much every week for over a year now, figured it’s time for a change. Never really did snatch grip deads before, but other than the hook grip they don’t seem too bad so far. Looking at where the bar ends up at the top, seems like about 10 cm or 4 inches more range of motion than with regular deads.

Easing back into doing pullups. Things feel fine for now, will see how they are tomorrow. Trying to do hammer curls with the same 18 kg dumbbell still hurt so things aren’t 100%.
