Poundstone curls
30 lb axle x 100 

This whole medley is so humbling. Between last week and this session, I definitely had to lower some weights to avoid resting too long. Happy to be doing dips again. I should go heavier on the behind-the-neck press next time. It's something I've never pushed but 70 definitely feels too light to start with.

Seem to be finding my stride with the curls. High repetition work has always been the bane of my existence; I just suck at it, which is all the more reason to do it more. And here I was really able to force extra bouts of 10 reps in with a few rest pauses here and there. Keeping my elbow sleeves on everytime I do these so it gets ever so slightly tougher at the top of the rep than normal instead of that being the "free" part of the ROM.
