Crappy Abdominal Circuit:
Bleh.

Floor Presses were paused. I’m a good deal stronger on them than full benching, too.

The weighted pushups were way cool. I coulda (and shoulda) done more, but time was running out (I was moving slow, even though I went through stuff faster than I ever do) & we had to GTFO of the varsity gym. :slight_smile:

My right arm is sore, and my grip feels a bit weak. My elbow and wrist both hurt, and pushing on a trigger spot on my back slightly to the left of my right scapula relieves some of the pain. I’m gonna make sure to stretch, apply ice to my elbow, and massage my back with a spherical object. :slight_smile: This has happened to me before; same arm.
