This workout went well enough for my bicep being as it is. I was very frustrated trying to do neutral grip work because my bicep felt strained. I had to do strict overhead work with bands because my bicep could not take the strain from going explosively. Bench with bands felt good and was explosive. I am realizing that this injury is only aggravated in certain planes of motion so I have to learn how to work around it. I did tricep press downs so I wouldn't hurt myself and they went alright but they are hell on your elbow so I have to avoid doing too many. I am just getting really depressed in the weight room because everything was coming together so well and now one shitty little strand of muscle is holding everything back. I am going to start rehabing this thing tommorow. I will go light and try to get it loose and warm.
