 upper accessory
today was a mix of various movements. upper body is lagging behind. today was the first upper body w/o in two weeks. this was due to the week of before the meet and then messing up my bi's. the goal is to just get stronger and work on hypertrophy work as well. there are several issues i need to correct in the coming weeks.
did various band movements and light db curls to w/u the shoulders, tris and bis
flat db bench palms facing
2x12x35 1x10x45 2x10x45 1x10x50 2x10x60
log press 3x10x85
barbell shrugs 2x12x135
yoke 2 trips 75' 280lbs 2 trips 75' 370lbs 2 trips 75' 460lbs
the yoke work and log were just attempts to get ready for the heavy work ahead of me. 2nd time using the yoke and other than knee instability at times, went well. nothing exciting about todays work, but a step in a much neede direction. biceps felt pretty good today. yesterday was the first day i could straighten my arm w/o pain.

 Re: upper accessory
when going heavy on the Yoke Mike you might want a medium tight wrap on the knee. it has seemed to help me in that category.

 Re: upper accessory
Thought for sure that I would pop my head out the front door and see you laid up in the middle of the parking lot with the yoke wrapped around your neck and a couple angulated fractures of legs! Seriously though, it looked like some great work!
