Jonathan’s Intermediate Training Log

Sunday 10/6/19

Bench
182.5 x 3 x 2
I mis-grooved the 3rd rep of my first set in the direction of my head. I think it's because a guy who was "spotting" someone else (didn't take his hands off his friend's bar) turned around, got in my field of view, and started talking, and I got a little nervous.

Felt a little pain in my left bicep after benching, and it looks like there is a red area close to my elbow. It is barely visible when not in direct sunlight. Wonder if it's tendinitis. I'll keep an eye on it.

Press
115 x 5 x 5
Left bicep stung a little during my work sets.

Chin negatives
4 x 1

Lat chin downs
85 x 15 x 5
Bicep didn't sting during this or my chin negatives.

Stinging feeling in my left elbow after I got home.

Monday 10/7/19

Squat
260 x 5

Deadlift
315 x 5 x 2
I was starting with the bar too close to my legs so it floated forward at the start of the lift (mostly on the right side). Problem solved.

20 / 90 x 6
