    Squat: 270lb 3x5 Did in squat rack. Felt very easy. I think the rack provides psychological safety that lets me lift more.

    Press 162.5 3x5 first 2 sets felt like a piece of cake. Stupid right upper arm started hurting real bad before 3rd set. was having trouble grabbing the bar. I managed to just do it anyway.

    I wonder if it is some sort of tendonitis in the elbow going up to the shoulder? Seems like it takes a few hours of pain then it goes back to normal. Ended workout, and will not do Chins today because of arm/elbow situation.

    Squat: 275lbs 3x5 Easy peazy! 3 different guys came over and started talking to me between sets and started chatting, and mentioned how beast mode I was doing squat. Pretty cool! There was a huge muscled guy seated shoulder pressing 315 on the smith machine though... so I still feel like a little bitch.

    Press 165 2x5. Pain got unbearable around elbow. I found out that I couldn't hold a 10lb weight in front of me in a front delt raise position. (bad pain around elbow around distal bicep tendon.) Went home and Iced, and worked with a sledgehammer to do raises and holds trying to kind of rehab a little.

    Bench 145lbx12
    Bench 155lbsx10 (AMRAP)

    Pain not as bad as before. Did Burn out drop sets. Pain is not when I am actually benching. But some sort of inflammation is going on.

    Row: 135lbs 1 rep. Excruciating Pain in right lower bicep/tendon area. pain radiating from elbow to shoulder. Gonna try to come back tonight, or tomorrow and hit rows, deadlift and chins.

    11/03/2020 Tuesday Morning

    Deadlift: 335lb 1x5 Easy peazy! Much easier than last time (I think I was only doing 315) Rest did me good. Grip was strong

    Bench: 235lbs 1x5, 1x4 4th rep spotter helped me a little.
    Bench 135lb 1x12
    Bench 155lb 1x12
    Bench 165lb 1x12 Couldn't do 170lbs after this cause elbow in too much pain.

    Chins 3x12 @-135lbs


    Plan of action:
    1. Go to 2.5 lbs increments on Bench, so that I can keep linear progression
    2. Make sure I hit my chins no matter how bad my elbow hurts to push a lot of blood into area to help heal.
    3. Add high rep Bicep Curls to Press Days to pump blood into elbow.

    11/04/2020 Wednesday Only got 4 hours of sleep. Watched election all night. Really pissed that demonrats are stealing election with fraud in Wisconsin and Michigan.

    Squat: 285lbs 3x5
    Squat 225lbs 2x5

    Press: 170lbs 3x5 Just got super pissed and shook this weight around like it was a toy. I was grunting and slamming weights so hard that every woman in the gym became moist and wanting, and the men sprouted extra hair on their chest just from watching.

    P. Row 3x5 190lbs slammed that shit into my chest so hard I think I broke a rib.
    S. Row 3x5 190lbs

    Chins: -115lbs 3x12

    starting strength coach development program
    11/14/2020 Saturday. Had to take 2 days off for Doctors appointments and work. Barely got to gym today an hour before closing. Oh yeah, Doc gave me a steroid injection in my right shoulder for what she thinks is Labral fraying. I hurt my shoulder about 10 years ago working as a street cop, fighting a bad guy. Never been the same.


    Squat: 295lbs 3x5. I felt strong as hell today. I was very tempted to slap 3 plates on the bar and just rip out 5 reps. Decided to be boring and wait a few more workouts to get there.

    Press: 175lbs 3x5 Feels pretty good. I am having to lean back a little on some of the reps, but nothing too bad. Bicep tendon pain nowhere to be found!

    No time for Rows today. Maybe next time.
