Friday
Me bitching about how it could have gone better while at the same time doing stuff I've never done before = ironic. Trained with / spotted Kirk on Decline bench to 155kg (first time he'd benched in months)
Close Grip Bench Press
to 180kg x 1 with a pause using a slingshot. Then onto 225kg/495lbs (plan was 2 x 1) x 1 rep and 1 fail (s/s came off elbow and Kirk had to spot me big time). Decided no to go to an upper max single of 235kg. Dropped to 140kg/308lbs x 16 reps with the s/s on (vid)
Low Iso Lever Row
45kg x 8 reps, 90kg x 6 reps and 140kg/308lbs 1 arm at a time per side x 4 reps (more there)
Cable Face Pulls
Used long rope handles to 16.25kg x 12 reps

Tuesday
My head was a good half mile up my butt to begin with. But, as per, going to the gym helps. Changed the set up today as I tweaked my left shoulder very mildly on Friday. So I ended up using an Iso Lateral Press machine facing into it. Took my time before getting to work weights
Iso Lateral Press
1 arm at a time. Lifting arm x 20 reps, 5kg x 20, 10kg x 20, 20kg x 8, 30kg x 8, 40kg/88lbs x 4 and then 60kg/132lb x 4
3-Inch Wrist Roller
85kg x 1, 95kg x 1 and 105kg/231lbs x 1
Brutal doesn't sum this up. My hands were shaking a little after
