I managed to knee my favourite uke in the face during Newaza (allowed in offtopic, but not so much in Judo). It was purely accidental when shrimping/squirming out of Kesa

Getting a fasted walk in at 5 A.M. before classes and having 30 min to waste on MAP, then trying to post a thread topic that requires a lot of writing but being unable to because it was cold outside and I have no dexterity in my cold, numb hands : P. This post here took a good 2 minutes to write!

I wore my proper running shoes to the gym.... guess how much running I did? that's right, zero. I tried standing ab rollouts tho, harder than I thought, but kneeling are too easy. GRRRR

^ i got distracted with a few other exercises and before i knew it a couple of hours had passed, and it's not like i took more than 90 seconds at most between sets. i also got a new Squat 100% raw PR of 2 reps at 85kg barefoot, no belt, unitard, knee wraps etc

GRRRRR! Dentist visit - he thinks the nerve in a tooth I damaged a while back is dead and there may be a slight infection in the tooth. He's going to monitor it, but if it gets worse I'm going to need a root canal doing!

Brake pads on my bike disintegrated in heavy traffic yesterday on my way home. Good thing I could just hop up onto the pavement. I don't mind running joggers over.

managed 4 sets of 6 chinups, then 2 sets of 5.... but after it with overhead press couldn't lockout my 3rd rep (which i made a month ago), though i did mess up my front delts at the weekend. also ran out of time to get my sets done on bench, waiting for lots of guys to finish then did the wrong weights/reps/sets. reading a monthly spreadsheet fail

it might have been the chins that screwed with your OHP. it's pretty intensive on the back muscles and elbow flexors stability-wise, so if you pre-exhaust them your press is likely going to suck for that day

i've been favouring them as a first exercise recently as it was the only way i could get any kind of volume in, and the reps per set have gone up, might even get a 10 rep set by June (one of last years goals). would like to switch to low rep pullups next month as a harder version, whatever muscles used in pronated is so hard for me to get past 3. at the last gym i did pyramid sets from 5 to 1, but took ages

you could also do pull-ups, then continue chin-ups when you fail. the reduction in chin reps is minimal, if there is even any at all, and you'll be getting even more pulling in, plus increasing your pull-up numbers now rather than later. it's also pretty fun

of course, it'll screw up even more whatever you do after that involves stability via elbow flexors
