Finished 4 days of boxing on Friday evening. Lots of bagwork mixed with calisthenics and little partner training, as is normal with Coach Hashim. Noticed at night that my right hand was in pain from some hard power shots I threw. There were a couple of times I recall accidentally landing without a tightly closed fist, which is a stupid mistake.

Did a large Costco run on Saturday that included ribeyes and 2 different packages of lambchops (1 from New Zealand, the other local). Considered taking the whole day off due to feeling beat, but by the late evening when all errands were done, the iron bug bit me.

2-board press
335 x 2

1-board press
275 x 8

Incline crazy bells
145 x 10, 10, 10, 9, 7
Super-set with dumbbell rows 
80s x 10, 10, 12, 12, 10

Dumbbell skullcrushers
50s x 5 -> drop-down to 35s x 5

Various curls

Felt a little pressure on my injured hand on the 335 - nothing too alarming, but I left one rep in the tank just to be safe. Was pleased to hit 8 with 275.

Had my brother and sister visit on Sunday to pick out pictures for Dad's stone. Went to a nice brunch at Gardenia in Los Gatos and it was cool finally eating at that location after seeing it from the outside for decades. Eataly afterwards for a creamspresso, like always.

I signed up for boxing only twice this upcoming week to let my hand heal. Tuesday is my first "intro to sparring" class. I have to attend 3 of those before I can spar, along with getting my physical on file (which is already done).
