12/29 – Incline Bench – 5’s

Good inclines today. Repeating the previous cycle’s targets since it went so piss-poor, excluding the PR on the 3’s week. Off to be better start this time, with an easy 305×5 effort. Had more, but didn’t push for it. Did some declines for a change – all light and easy for now. I’m trying to finish up the healing of my elbow – right now it doesn’t bother me at all on presses, but any extension movement just kills. After doing the light extension work today it felt considerably better, so I am thinking/hoping that actually working it in the planes that hurt it will make it heal up, and that it’s just so damn sore from NOT being worked at all.
