Tried different ways to make the Meadows rows palatable to my forearm, but straps and Fat Gripz didn't feel as good as simply adopting an underhand grip. Tells me the bicep has probably nothing to with the problem. It's slowly getting better over time, in any case; just have to keep doing what I'm doing and train around the pain.

Brother is in town. Going to be fairly socially busy the next 32 hours: visiting a friend overnight tonight, going from there to work tomorrow, and from the office meeting my bro and older sister for dinner before we see Dad. Will probably do some Muay Thai practice before leaving tonight and I'm looking to go swimming at the hotel tomorrow.
