Shoulders and triceps

Maddy Curley
Well, I've finally figured out what's causing the problem with my bicep and forearm. I don't know why I didn't consult the great medical expertise of Google before. It seems that I have bicep and forearm tendonitis. The obvious solution is to give it lots of rest and not stress it further with any curls or back exercises that cause any pain. For some of today's shoulder session, I went with light weight/high reps, just in case. Bugger.

Shoulders, traps and triceps

I usually start shoulder day with some mid-weight/medium-rep squats, but not today. My quads and hams don't have any doms, following yesterday's PT session with Ben, but they do feel fatigued (exacerbated by my bike ride to the gym). However, my glutes are toast. I did a few warm up reps with an empty bar, but it was so painful I had to stop. My arse hurts!

Shoulders, traps and triceps

First time I was able to cycle to the gym this year, and on my new bike. I'm still getting used to a bike with proper gears, as my old bike's gears were fubar.

Haven't done squat cleans for more than a year, so decided to give them a try.

Wow! Incredibly rusty. 95lb felt really challenging, even with resetting.
