My spotter for the first set of close-grip benches let go of the bar right after he pulled it up, so I struggled for a few seconds to get the bar forward into position. This tired me out a bit and was probably not great for my shoulders, which probably affected the rest of the presses in my workout. To be fair, I didn't give him very good instructions. I also actually did 5 or 6 reps for my last set of close-grip benches, but the spotter I had (different guy) started touching the bar inappropriately, so I'll only give myself an honest 4.
The dip belt at my gym was also broken today, so I just did regular pullups. I have a dip belt at home which I'll use from now on because it takes them forever to fix broken equipment.
My bicep strength also sucks. For some reason, preacher curls have always been tough for me.
Plus, no snatches from here on out. My form for snatches is pretty terrible, and I figure that I'll wait until I can get a proper coach. I'll still use power cleans on light (DE/RE) leg days since I have much better form in that lift.
Final note: I've been squatting in some crappy old running (I think) shoes. I finally got around to ordering the VS Dynamo shoes, but when they arrived yesterday, they were small enough to pinch my feet painfully. Nuts. I've returned the old shoes and asked them to send me a new pair, but I'll probably have to wait until next Monday to get them.
