Soooooo ... Got to the gym. Upper/mid-back was still sore from the cramping yesterday, so Fern and I decided that today would be chest only (you know the rule ... never train sore muscles).

Well, 3 sets into our first exercise (bench press), my elbow starts acting up. I have tendonitis that rears its ugly head every once in a while and it decided to visit me last night. I am falling apart. LOL.

Anyway, didn't get my personal best in bench but here is what I did:

Bench Press:

45 lbs. x 10 reps (warm up)
185 lbs. x 8 reps
225 lbs. x 6 reps
275 lbs. x 1 rep

I was supposed to do 275 lbs. for 4 reps, then go on to do 300 lbs. for 1 or 2 reps.

My all time personal best has been 285 for 2 reps. I plan to to 300 lbs. by the end of this month ... elbow willing.

Needless to say, I cut the workout short once I felt the elbow start to twinge. Then I got to train Fern and watch her lift.

Sunday is supposed to be leg day at the gym near Fern's house.
