Up and down workout. See comments
Iso Inc Bench Machine
40kg x 8 reps, 75kg (might have been an idea to stay at 60kg - see next set) x 8 reps, 100kg/220lbs @ side x 2 (2 less than last time - might have shot my bolt here)
s/s
Iso Mid Row Machine
40kg x 8 reps, 75kg x 8 reps and 90kg/198lbs a side x 8 reps (easy)
Saxon Bar Work
All over the place. I butted my right hand a few days ago which caused very mild hyper-contracted position. Wear and tear means that makes it ache for a day or two. Plus yesterdays big weight fun on the dumbbell might have affected it too.
Warm ups were fine
LH: 45kg/99lbs x 3-4 x 1 reps
RH: tried 56.25kg x fail, 53.75kg x fail. Dropped to 52.5kg x 3-4 x 1 reps
Had a gym member (Samantha) take a photo of me, the bell and the owner Gareth for fun.
