Bar moved great , good speed good travel , rack pulls popped , elbow is warm and thick feeling but no pain to speak of or discomfort and I can still pick up my coffee cup , bonus !!

Today felt freaking great !! Volume feels good , intensity is up there but it's not murderous. I feel like i've put in a damn good amount of work but I'm not dead inside and my cns isn't shaky feeling or like im standing in water up to my waist rocking with the waves.

Started out by just flossing the elbow with a red mini , put 10lbs on the cable and used the band for my handle soon as the weight started to move i hit another rep ,, no weight really just flossing ,bump bump bump bump - 5 sets of 20

Momentum keeps up , work gets done but its not grind everything flows nice and seems to stack nice body wise.

Feel like I put in solid work , i'm tired but i'm not blown out and spacey in the head. Bonus !

Slept good , ate good , feel good , I got no complaints. Even the wonky elbow is mostly smiley today.

Today was golden , bar moved well , head was into it, body feels good.

Ate good , slept good , fuck I feel like a shiny new penny.

Squats went and moved well right up to the final set, last rep was a slow but not a killer grind. Was what I expected honestly.

Short heavy waves for the accessories felt good and it makes the work out pick up momentum in your head you get that 5 set done and feel instantly fired up for the 3 set mentally.

Hit sumos for the main accessory , and it was what I expected lol a lot of odd setting up and fucking around until it felt ok.

In the end as short as I am I don't have to worry about bringing my hips forward all that much , by the time i push away with my legs , i'm upright , I'm its not proper but it felt good.

The sets of 6 I had to slow down a bit to get right I filmed one fast one and it was horrible , looks like some kind of fucked up SDL thing.

Ok , today went fucking GREAT until it didnt lol then some shit went weird AF.

Bar moved good had decent speed , squats fired great , gms were good deficits were on point SDL's the issue was with front squats.

2nd rep of the double set , I got stalled at the pins , down shifted and when I started coming up rounded too far over compressing my chest...well , something there crunched.

Along the inner pec line center chest , hurts like fuck to expand my chest, cough , yell , sing , but the pec itself doesnt feel torn ... from past experience it kind of feels like a cracked rib but its in a weird fucking spot .

Other than that , it was fucking awesome haahahaha.

Gota wait for more pics to come back but the Doc says I called it right after the exams.

2nd rib and intercostal cartilage are cracked where it connects to my sternum. Which is why I feel it click n recrunch laying flat and pressing my shoulders n spine back flat.

The deeper chest pain he says is bruising and being that part of the rib is directly over the ascending aorta he said some crap about being lucky.

I showed him the video of it on the ol ladies phone when it happened ,you cant see anything but me stumble n hear the oh fuck oh fuck

2nd rep is when it happened

No heroics , nothing special , explosive or fast. Smooth and simple.

Bar traveled well , path was clean , no weird compensating or twisting , leaning. 10/10 stars !!

OK First things first

Monday - moved well and felt good for the workout , chest is still a bit tight DL'ing so we stuck to the deloading 65% and it went well.

Tuesday - moved real well , got to our proper number for our programming , 240 felt good with no real discomfort to speak of , faint pressure n tightness.

For the Accessories - I just took 30# DB's and worked em slow and steady getting as much ROM and stretch as I could out of them ,,, feeder sets, heavy flossing .. what ever you want to call it , elbow and delt/pec rib loved it.

Both days were positive for mind body and soul , as long as we're taking small steps forward, we're still moving forward and that's all that matters.

In the timeless and reverent words of our great American philosophical hydration expert the Kool Aid Man when he said - OH YEAAAH !!!

Chest is still stiff and has pressure where the rib/cartilage is broken but as I took my time through my warm ups and initial squat progression it reached a solid state if you will.

It was there but not game changing and didn't change or progress so ,, bonus !!

Hit our proper number for CAT Day squats , I put a little oomph into it out of the hole but no detonation.

I did on the first rep at working weight , was the only time rib/chest pressure increased so I used a bit of quickness but nothing stupid.

Tuesday - Heavy Bench + Accessories
199.1 body weight
1472 cals headed to 2800 for the day
30 min uphill stat bike - 8 miles 130/132 bpm

Today was money in the bank , chest got tight near top end work but we made it around the obstacle just fine.

After the first set of 4 at 255 , I realized the chest just wasn't healed up enough , dropped to sets of 3 , felt good ,when that got tight, dropped to doubles. Got in all of our reps at 255 we needed for the day just not in a 5x4 .... score in my book.

Accessories moved well , felt good , had to break up the final sets into 3+2 and 2+2 for the same reason as above but we got all our reps in , so i'm counting this as a win as well.

I'll repeat this session until we get proper sets n reps and move up from there. No shame in our game.

Bar moved well , had good speed , head and heart were in it for the full fight , everything felt good and the slight discomfort was expected at top end and not off putting , just have to adjust adapt and overcome. Simple.
