Mixed things up last night by doing lunges with the SSB bar. Went up to 190 x 10 for each leg. Followed this up with good mornings up to 200 x 10. Legs, back, and butt especially are very sore today. Going into the session my left knee had some floating pain that got better the more I lunged.
This morning I woke up at 7:22 to train before work at 10:30. After a quick breakfast of beef soup, a slice of toast, half a Quest bar, OJ, and coffee, I jumped into my one-arm bench press program. Went a little heavier than last time, up to a 45, two 25s, and a 10.
While easier than the dumbbell I rep I'm keeping rest times very brisk for me, just a minute or two, and shit got challenging quick. Did a bunch of sets, maybe 5 or 6, of heavy weight super-set with dumbbell rows up to the 125 pounder x 10. Finished with lateral raises for both arms (10 in good arm, 5 in recovering one) and curls.
I also plate pressed 15 x 10 for two sets with the right arm. Can't wait to press the empty bar. After I master this weight I'm going to move to the 35 lb bar I have.

I'm going to shift my training to the morning whenever I can. I feel much better getting it done in this period than after work and finishing late at night. Yesterday I managed to get a 50 minute session done before work in the AM. I did a one-arm bench press using my car deadlift handle and the barbell loaded to one side.
The reason for bringing this exercise in was to give my healthy bicep tendon a break from all the brutal dumbbell hosting it's been supporting. I felt the strain before this deload and have read accounts of people ending up tearing their other bicep while in recovery from the first one. It made a big difference just being able to unrack a weight for once.
It'll be nice when I can lift 45s with two arms again when doing squats. As it stands, just subbing out dumbbell pressing sometimes is the first step and my bicep already feels much better.
