It's been a frustrating week.
5/22/18
Squat: 245 x 5 x 3
Press: 112 x 5 x 3 - Took a 10% reset after missing twice at 124
P. Clean: 50 x 2 x 7 [kg] - This is the one exercise I'm not exactly following SS on. I haven't had success teaching myself with the SS method, so I'm working with a local (non-SS) coach until I can get to a SS clean seminar.
5/24/18
Squat: 250 x 5 x 3 - Major aching in both biceps. I think it's tendonitis/tendinosis from carrying too much weight with my hands. Unloading the bar was a challenge.
Bench: 185 x 1 - Arms weak and achey, couldn't get two reps
Glute/ham raises: 12.5 x 10 x 3
Chins: Arms too weak to complete a rep
This is aggravating. I moved my feet in 1-2 inches before lifting the bar out of the rack, in an effort to reduce what I thought was overextension in my lumbar spine. I think this had the unintended side effect of changing how I receive the load, taking more on my hands. I'm starting the ibuprofen/massage/chinup routine.

Changed order to prevent possible arm ache from causing problems with exercises after the squat.
Press: 117 x 5 x 3 - Felt good
Dead: 310 x 1 - I could get the second rep ~1 inch off the ground, but could not go up from there. Biceps started to ache during deads.
Squat: 135 x 3 - Arms started to ache a lot here during warmup. Might need to switch to high bar for a day or so.
BW chins: 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2
Not sure what happened on the deadlift... my best guess is Memorial Day travel + diet interruption fatigued me more than I expected.
Till next time.
