workout: upper-body p2w3a

Couple of good workouts. Took Saturday off to rest and hit deadlifts on Sunday. Lower back is still feeling weak so I’m being patient and making small, incremental gains. Shoulder is giving occasional issues but I’m nothing losing any ROM, so I feel ok as long as I keep pre/post-habbing it.

Today was upper-body with a little bit of upper-back work. Speed and close-grip benches. Speed-benches were at 65% of one-rep max.

This is supposed to be the week of big-gains and the heaviest lifts of the cycle. I’ll probably be ok on upper-body work, but my lower-back is getting in the way of too much weight. I’ve been thinking of taking 2-3 weeks off before the next cycle to concentrate on stretching and rehab work. I need to get started on that plan before too much longer.
