The Road to 405

[Ryan Arnold]

Funny because I had the exact same experience leading up to the SS Fall Classic - was having some pretty significant elbow pain after squatting that was affecting my ability to press afterwards. Over the course of two weeks, during which I made no known changes to my form or training, the pain went away entirely and has not returned. I'm definitely not complaining, though!

The Cancer-itis is vexing. An inigma.

12/5/16

Bench: 235x5, 190x10
Press: 145x5x3
Chins: BWx9x2

Bench actually felt a little heavy. Wore a loose belt for it.
Going to continue with small Press jumps. Small everything jumps really.
BF% gainzz helping Chins. I'm almost up to double digits again - weeeeeee!

Weighed in at 234/27.4%BF today which is down 16 total lbs from my heaviest and about 4%BF. 2.5 more percentage points and I will no longer be obese by the standards. Hooray! I figure I'll get as much fat off as I can before I start to feel unrecovered. Not worried about it too much since I'm already very close to 231. Used to the hunger now so its all good.

M/T/W/F this week due to sister in the hospital. She had heart surgery and I have to take her home tomorrow so had to train a day early. Went fine despite a horrible night's sleep last night.

Was exhausted by the end and just wanted to leave so only one set of chins happened. No big deal.
