Good energy this workout. I'm having a problem doing curls with my barbell. My elbows hurt when I lift the bar upwards. I'm going to have to get an E-Z curl bar and some weights for bicep curling. I've also added some additional wrist/forearm training into my routine. Fun (but rough on the hands...)!

My usual Friday workout is Back & Legs. I still have neck pain from sleeping the wrong way on my neck, so I decided to do a different workout. No exercises using my neck for support, or bending my neck too much, or pulling with my traps. I also reduced the weights a bit so as not to stress myself. All-in-all, a good workout!

Ooooh - sorry about the neck pain bones - that sucks when it happens. Totally gets in the way of EVERYTHING. I'm sure the workout will have helped it work its way out, though.

Have a good weekend, and maybe take a hot bath?

Good workout tonight! Plenty of energy & intensity. I guess the carbup helped.

My neck is feeling much better. Just a little stiff at this point, but not painful.

My hands are taking a beating from the grippers. I bought a tube of L'Occitane shea butter hand cream, and started using it. It works great! I had bought a tube of it for Lil several weeks ago, and she loves it. So do I!
