39-second chin-up 

Biceps were fried; no way was a 1-minute chin-up happening. Pleased that my press is rebounding. I've put 10 lbs on it in a month while my bodyweight has remained steady in the low 190s. 

Chin-ups and preacher curls were quite uncomfortable on the elbow this time. It'd be a good idea to do this workout at the gym so I can do some really heavy machine rows without aggravating the elbow.

Had a fairly standard Friday boxing session with the usual rounds of calisthenics and bag work. We don't usually work with partners on Fridays, but this time we partnered up to practice what the coach thought were shovel hooks. I really like this coach on a personal level but occasionally he ponders out loud what he's teaching and admits he's not sure and to ask another coach. He did that with shovel hooks this time while showing what was a straight to the body but with the wrist kept sideways and the thumb facing up (I.e. not rotating the fist).
