Was able to squat on Saturday, 5x4 @ 200 lbs, although I felt like a train wreck from COVID shot # 2. Accessory work was slim as my left hand grip is fairly affected by the inability to use my middle finger, I did do 4x6 @ 90 lbs on T Bar row but had to use my wife’s wuss hooks on the last set, and 5x15 on side lateral raises, as well as 3x10 on the leverage squat with 180 lbs on the machine.
Sunday I was able to somewhat bench, was supposed to work up to a 1RM @ 8.5-9 RPE, I worked up to 225 and called it, as mg left hand grip was getting very sketchy the heavier the weight got, I probably could’ve gone to 275 or 285 with a healthy hand. Had 5x3 - 20 KG after that, so I made it easy and did 185, those flew. I didn’t do any deadlifts yesterday, I’m not sure I could’ve gripped the bar, my wife suggested I use her wuss hooks again and I laughed.
Will probably use this week as a de-load, as I’m injured, next week will be looking for a gym in San Diego to train in 2 of the days we’re there. Then it’s back to go time once the finger is healed…
This is this morning
