Well, what-all I've been doing right in recent weeks is still working. Cool.

Squat

75x5x3
Decided to see what happens if I push through the initial adductor tendon pain with the empty bar and see what happens. It didn't exactly go away, but it did get better and wasn't really a problem with a little weight. No worse as I enter this, so it's good so far.

These felt easy enough and moved so well they left me wondering if I should have done more reps or another set or something. I guess that's a good thing.

Same result as last time, so will keep on trucking unless things go bad again.

Curl bar

The wrists still seem ok with the mostly wide grip on the curl bar, which is good because using the barbell caused a lot of problems.


Oh yeah, yesterday there was:

5lb jumps from here? Do you have the patience to wait 3 months to bold the top work set?

[swan]

Yes indeed, +5 now. Both the effort involved at the time and now the recovery are telling me that is the correct choice.

That seems about the right workload for this. We'll see what happens with everything else the next couple weeks.

Progress of a sort, I guess. Adductor has been a little sore since last time but this doesn't seem to have made it any worse.

Have been feeling pretty good about the presses lately and thought I'd try a +5. It worked out well. 1st set was no problem, and bar speed was good on the other sets even if the 3rd reps did get kinda hard.

Dunno why I did +10 on these today, but it worked out well. Low back was hurting quite a bit after benching, but was a hell of a lot better by the time I got to these work sets.

Took an extra day because I really aggravated the adductor tendon Sunday night. On the bright side, I now know what position caused the problem in the first place.

Well isn't that special. Last time at the higher weight I had the thought I could have done 3s instead of 2s but was too chicken to go for it. First set today the 2nd rep moved so well I was certain I could get a 3rd. I had briefly considered a +5 here today but I guess I'm a chicken shit because I probably could have with doubles.

First couple of empty bar sets that adductor tendon hurt like hell but I said fuck it & then it settled down & while I could feel it a littlle it was really no big deal.

Huh, I didn't think I'd get more than 3 per set before I started. Onward & upward! Of course, it's sort of feels like cheating with a small bw decrease.
