Fasted walk today. Scale isn't working. Hopefully it's just out of batteries. Not doing anything for Christmas Eve but I'm looking forward to my first ever Christmas lifting session tomorrow thanks to my home gym. Had a good kabob dinner last night with extended family visiting. Played a host of Dreamcast games with my cousins and I'm pretty sure Soul Calibur counts as some type of training.

Yesterday:

Overhead press
222 x 1, 2
First time pressing heavy overhead since my injury. We'll see what happens next week when I retry.

Close-grip bench press
245 x 5 x 10
Ugh, pec tendons are really hurting. Almost didn't do this but they felt a little better after the first set.

Weighted chin-ups
70 x 5 x 10

Dumbbell push press
80 x 1, 5
Fooled around with this. Was hard at first because the weight plate dug into my shoulder unlike what a thicker dumbbell would do but after a set I got the hang of it and repped it out pretty easily. 90 next week. Pleased with this after taking the bench sets close to failure several times.
