I felt something twinge in my right pec on the last rep, so that’s it for today, better to be safe than carry on with more chest stuff!
It’s feeling a little funny at the moment, but not too bad, I think I stopped at the right time, luckily.

Was at Aldi early this morning buying some mince and veg, I noticed they had a heap of fitness type fear there, squats racks, Oly bumper plates, and some bands. I’ve been looking at bands for ages for pull aparts and face pulls, but hey, for 5 bucks, I bought a couple, they only had medium and light, so medium it is.

Went for a 3km walk yesterday morning and last night. Woke up family early and went again this morning, was quite cool for a change.
Bench sucked today, right pec hurt like hell, so bailed, doesn’t hurt for close Grip though, did for dips, so missed them too and threw in some other fluff to feel like I’ve done something.

Went to do about wheel, pec hurt like a bitch, in fact, I reckon this is where I strained it originally, so I might turf the thing. Bit of a piss weak session, but, what are ya gonna do? Better to be safe than sorry
