I'm nursing a right bicep injury. It started several weeks ago when I lifted a machine that weighed 132 lbs at work from the floor to a platform. Though it felt easy, my arms had to extend far around it (compared to a sandbag or Atlas stone), so my biceps were in a lengthened position and I felt some strain afterwards. Nothing too bad, but it's gradually been feeling worse from strongman training, especially log cleans. It felt bad enough yesterday that I was lifting up 45 plates gingerly. 

For that reason, a lot was trimmed down in this workout. I did pull-ups with a band wrapped around my feet anchored to the bar and nixed sandbag carries and rows entirely. 

Felt good to bench press again, and to have 225 feel light with the Swiss bar despite not having benched in awhile.

Been no sparring this week, which is a good thing considering how hard I got hit last Tuesday. My Adam's apple is still a little sore from a big uppercut I took, but is feeling much better and I can mostly swallow without pain now. Hungry to spar more and will be signing up for Tuesday.
