Notes: **Today was the first day since last summer when I was able to bench anything over 135 without pain in my left "arthritic" wrist. At the suggestion of some of you guys and others, I've been working on keeping the wrists straighter rather than letting them get cocked back, and apparently this has been helping. Usually I use wrist wraps on every set, so I don't even bother noting it in my logs. I'll continue to work back into not using them for most sets....slowly, though.

Everything felt strong today.

Elbows were a little sore, but nothing I haven't felt before.
