I read that like you were calling me a vegetable. LOL
Ooohhhh. A new place to smut up. Kidding. I’ll keep it clean from now on.
The strongest damn vegetable I know!! lol

You know this is like a vampire situation right? Once you give the invitation it can’t be taken back…
Gotcha, in for the follow!
reading this as i chow down on 500gm of mixed vegetables with my lunch LOL.
And with that, I hereby enter this new training log with intent sharpened, joints appeased, and an unambiguous commitment to the systematic pursuit of smutty-iron-induced progress.
New log! Thanks for the heads up. I am a little absent and less active right now, will be fully back in February.

Bicep is being angry, these were hard work
Todays log highlights
Fresh new log. Gotta love it. 
Sorry that bicep is still giving you grief though. 
I would think the clean part of the log press is the culprit. You might be able to do some rack SOHPs to give some relief and still get your pressing in and let the bicep heal.
Yer I did some pressing with the log out of the rack on Friday. Wanted to give the clean a go today just to test it. Looks like I will be switching to all presses from the rack until the comp and then just wing it on the day.
I’m here for some manly lifting videos and the great chat about steak and chillie!!!
