gfd's training notes (battling the bad back)

played basketball on thursday night, to guys got into a fight, not one punch was landed it was funny as hell. made the trip to the courts worth it.

friday
bench-missed 310#.. almost had it, got it off the chest, just missed getting it to my tri's. if i can just get it on my tri's, i'll lock it out easy.

bw dips 25 reps, locked out each one at the top, went as deep as i could go.
band resisted dips-#3 band, did 2 sets, 15 reps, 11 reps.

--edit--
later in the day i also did a couple sets of blast strap dips, 20 reps, they are a very hard version of dips.

they made my chest sore, not a good sore, i think i over did it.
i'm feeling better now, but im not going to push again until wednesday. and then im going to go slow, and see how it feels.
