Had a very disappointing work out today, plagued by the same grip problems as yesterday and just generally feeling very weak:
OLY DLs: 95kgx8, 110kgx8 (mixed grip), 110kgx8 (mixed grip);
BW Chins: +10kgx5, +5kgx5, BWx5;
![Frown :( :(](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/frown.gif)
OLY BOR: 60kgx8, 60kgx8, 60kgx8;
Seated Rows: 50kgx8, 50kgx8, 50kgx8;
Standing DB Curls: 2x16kgx8, 20kgx8 (fixed barbell), 20kgx8 (fixed barbell).
I have no idea what went wrong with Chins, I think I must have worn myself out with the Deadlifts. I can usually do 8 reps with 10kg plate.
My grip was appalling, it started to be an issue on my 1st set, but I managed to keep it strong for the set, but never have my callouses been so painful and interfering like they were today. I used to easily be able to do 95kg without worring about my grip.
Plus I'm very stubborn, so I forced my way through the grip pain because I wasn't going to allow it to stop me from completing my workout.
My biceps were absolutely shot before the DB curls - I just about did my 8 on each arm but when I did my fixed barbell sets, again, as previously, my grip felt painful and I almost dropped the weight on the last reps; due to the grip and due to my biceps being so nackered.
If I can ignore the awful chins and grip problems, I'm still not happy with this workout. Its funny, there is no blood and hardly any skin peeling, but my callouses are still painful. I have two rest days before I do my shoulders on Monday, so hopefully that will suffice and by grip improves.
Kind regards,
David
