  • Exercise of the Day
    • 50 Arm Scissors
  • Turkey Run
    • Option 2: High Knees
      • 200reps = 10 Turkeys
Woke up with my left tricep pulled and I know exactly which rep that happened on, but nothing Tiger Balm can't solve.
Still took the 580 punches slow, and it only stung when I bent my elbow, so arm scissors were fine too.
Also noticed there is a streak tracker in the profile, too lazy to scroll thru and figure out how many days in a row it's been, but between the challenges and the program this month I just set it to a 15-day streak, it will be 30 days in less than a week anyways.

Tried PPL A this week, not sure if I liked it more or less than B.
Did pull my tricep on Pull Day, but I'm trying to not let that cloud my judgement.
Will probably switch back to B for next week.
Should probably see if any benches are on sale this week so I can do some of the alternatives.

@Daptomycin Well in January I'll be doing Arms of Steel [SEATED], I just want to get a bit more stamina in my left shoulder, and I can do it at work.
And February I'm switching from PPL Training Plan to the PPL Program, because the program is 28 days, so fits nicely; will probably change to a more cardio based training plan for that month.
After that probably the 8 Weeks to 5K.
