29/12/12; 1030-1300hr; Bishan gym
Mood
Before: Looking forward to another day of squats. Time to
dominate it. Was helped by the fact that I didn’t feel sore or tired.
During: First few work sets went ok till about halfway
through when forearms started acting up real bad. Shut the pain out and
finished it.
After: Felt good. Looking forward to smolov next week.
Training
Warm up: Did the shoulder savers warm up. It really helps
loosen the shoulders up and the upper body in general. Warm up squat sets felt
a little slow but no real issue there.
Work sets: Every set from start to end felt good and strong.
Able to be focus more on technique when squatting instead of worrying about
form or weight. Forearm pain was quite unbearable and after doing some
research, I figured it has to do with the hand placement on the bar. Will try
the new position on Monday.
Assistance: Felt drained after the tenth set. Brisk walk for
20 minutes for recovery and stretching then done.
Miscellaneous
Rest times were around 7 minutes. Seems about right at the
moment. Not too cold but at the same time fresh enough to go all out again. Definitely
need to sort out the forearm problem. Left delt still feels stiff. Can’t figure
that one out though. Maybe it has to do with the hand placement too?
Diet
Appetite today was good too. Probably could have eaten more.
Recovery after all is the name of the game.
Breakfast/preworkout: 2 scoops protein, creatine, 2 slices
wholemeal bread and 4 eggs. Breakfast was had to get down again for some

from cold storage and some Japanese chicken.
