Friday
V/Gripper work
Monday
A day to question my sanity. Even though I'd had an ok walk above Aberdare on Sunday, walking seeming to help my rather more than foolish gung-ho and 'lets see what I can do' attitude (normally useful) was a BIG mistake. The previous three days had seen me still in pain with my hip on sleeping and waking but less so by the evening. Putting 370-kilos and having half an eye on using the Power Squat machine for 4-6 reps (a PB for the reps at that weight I think) was out and out foolishness. First I just went down and stayed there and secondly NOTHING is giving me any relief at all - all day. So worse than back to square one. Of course, all the while bitching, I did the other shit too.

L/Press
to 320-kilos x 8 reps
S/L/Curls
to stack x 15 reps (more issues legs out than flexed)

s/s

Really quite ridiculous work, eventually, on the axe.
Sunday (in lieu of Monday as I was at the Osteo)
DOTBTLDL
This was quite simply a case of drive and determination combined with stupidity. I KNEW I'd ache, as I've been having pain since the week before last. But I also knew I'd be getting treatment and will improve. So, even if not to the level I'd like, I pushed and pushed. That it might, as it did, cause me to ease out of any sitting or lying position very slowly was going to be par for the course.
I decided, lately sensible, to high rep / low weight the rest of the workout which resulted in a great brachial and tricep pump.
Seated dumbbell press
7.5-17.5-kilos in 2.5kg jumps all x 20 reps
s/s
Hammer curls
same weights and reps
No delt pump so, if I do this again, a heavier pressing weight??
TPD
8, 10, 12p x 20 reps @

Monday
Coleford, for a Festival of Transport, in the afternoon so sensible o'clock at the gym. And what a session. I almost done myself a mischief pulling on deadlifts. For a moment I thought I'd injured myself but as it is I was just very sore and tender the rest of the day as I am now the following morning.
DOTBDLTL - repsto 130-kilos x 9, 10 and 8+2+1 (almost down on on knee on rep 8 as I suddenly hit the wall, felt sore, carried on etc etc). Walking up and down between the last two parts.
Mid Iso-row
to 70-kilos an arm x 8 reps
s/s
Iso B/Press
high reps low weight due to twinge from before so:
20-kilos aside x 20, 35-kilos x 20 r/p reps, 55-kilos x 12 reps

Bloody scales. Up and down the stairs here from my supposedly accurate postal scales to the ones that are meant to be less so. ANYWAY... having finally settled on the weight (still a little way to go) I ended up doing the of so damn painful workout in the kitchen. The lever work is all stress on the wrist over a rep of strength due to a combination of the factors in leverage.
Pick axe workout
L/H: weight x 10 secs then 3 x 15 painful seconds
R/H: 10, 15 and then 2 x 21 seconds.

Silly little niggle I worked out today as to why. Left index finger nerve impingement at the first knuckle caused by gripper work makes it feel cold at time. I eased off the pedal on grippers and did ok on 2HP. I'll take 90% of next week off.
