Upper Body

Camille Leblanc-Bazinet
My little upper body day again.

Pre Fatigue Sets
Cable Fly into Cable Bench Press
40x10 and 10
50x10 and 10
60x10 and 10
70x7 and 5

Straight Arm Pulldowns into Pulldowns
40x10 and 100x10
40x10 and 100x10
40x10 and 100x10
40x10 and 100x10

Handstand Hold - Accumulate 2 minutes (40 sec, 20 sec, 40sec, 20sec)

The good thing about today is that I felt absolutely nothing in my elbow, not at any point and I did go to failure on most sets.  The first 2 parts burn like crazy still, but based on how they have gone in the past there is a definite improvement there, more overall reps.  The last part perhaps could have been done in 3 sets but when I kipped up for the second one I had this stabbing pain in my one lat that I sometimes get doing this, I fought through it a bit but dropped early.  I foam rolled it out and when set number 3 came up it felt fine, hence the back to 40 seconds.

I made the decision to purchase some knee sleeves, with all my leg workouts my knees have been a bit achy at times.  I've asked Jason, Eric and Geoff, all 3 of which can squat much more than me and they say they make a huge difference in terms of knee pain being dimished to nearly taken away, I just need to find the right brand.  Tomorrow is one of the busier Mondays I've had in a while, so unless any cancellations I'll be off, I could get up early to workout...but I start at 5:30 anyways and that's early enough haha.
