I loved the slingshot. I couldn't believe how much support it was giving and how hard it was to get it the weight down with the lower weights. Once I got into the 400s, it was easier to get down. I imagine it will stretch some as I use it. Overall, glad I got it.

Not bad tonight. I got a wee bit forward on the 545 so I decided that was my max for tonight. Dropped down and did a triple but I felt like hell so I just quit.

I've finally given up on just pushing my arm when it hurts like it does. This type of thing just drives me insane. I hate having these "pseudo-injuries" that are just enough to keep me from doing what I like. I had zero motivation to go in tonight knowing what I had on the schedule. Once this gets to feeling better, I'll go back to my original plan. For now, I'm hoping that one pressing session per week will allow it to heal sufficiently.
