Thursday
Ahh the benefits of a half decent nights sleep. I've stopped sniffing like it's an Olympic event (still a bit and a tad bunged up) and only woke once briefly. Not quite up at the lark etc but feeling the difference. One more day should do it.

2 Hand Pinch
Threw on, as per, another 1.25-kilo and did 3, 3 and 6 reps. Felt good

Hammer DB Curls*

TPD*

One Hand Lift*
to 200-kilos x 2 x 1 reps. I had 3 x 1 reps in me but tore skin on the middle fingers L/H and forced a blood blister on the middle finger right (under the scar tissue from the last one). Much like the Meat Hook Deadlift it seems that I'm tearing skin almost every workout.

*G/Sets

[Mobster]

Monday
Longish session only by virtue of enjoying a good old chin wag with a competitive member a little too much. Tape on one hands thumb and one finger (where the skins dry it's splitting if I pull on it)

Good walk yesterday afternoon. Decided not to do any one hand lift work today for 2 reasons. One the skin would only tear again as it's not properly healed again and I was a little tired.

Does a good thick bar day make a difference to pinch work? Possibly.I feel a little fatigued this morning although I ate well and thought I slept ok.
added another 1.2-kilos (so over 91.45kg now) x 3, x 3 (slight slip on r.thumb skin) x 2+ F. Rested and pulled 1. Couldn't pull a 2nd here.
