Entry #1136

No upper-body training for four days and I've had four shots in the last two, including the arm-crippling tetanus that forced me to take an additional day off. I also had a big blood sample drawn today. All things considered, I'm pretty damn pleased with today's performance when I half-expected to come in and just hit the bare minimum of 5. Being consistent is solely the biggest factor for strength.

Press:
140 x 5
160 x 5
180 x 8
> All the pause pressing makes me feel in unparalleled control of the bar. Left shoulder hurt from the shot, but a long warm-up made me feel better.

Pause press:
120 x 3 x 10

NG chin-ups:
12, 12, 12

Ran out of time so went to a park after.

Decline push-ups + chin-ups

2 sets of a super slow chin-up with a long hold for biceps

Leaving for Portland tomorrow. Had a great time in California despite all the bureaucracy stuff we had to take care of. Going to miss my dad, but I miss my girlfriend too.
