Preacher curls and seal rows tomorrow, ran out of time today.
I bought a solid looking hose clamp to try gripper partials later in the week.

Dumbbell preacher curl: 50x2,1, 40x10
Seal row w/ 2-ct pause: 225x5,5,5
OK, I have to give up on recapturing my curl momentum. My strength took a hit and it's not coming back so I'll regroup with a new weight/rep range.

- barbell reverse seated wrist curls: 85x10,10,10,10
09/20

- grippers: #2x11,10

- grippers: #2x1, #2.5x1
- attempt + assisted close: parallel clamp 5x1 (it won't let me type this the usual way)

Two of the right hand sets were closes. Those are my first #3 closes, though obviously the clamp helps a lot.

Turns out these aren't happening on after a curls/row session, haha.

Can anyone tell me why it won't let me post this text as part of my workout log? It was really annoying finding out what part of my post was bugging out, and it's weird figuring out what I need to change so that it'll post:

I tried posting just that as a new reply and it also 404s me without posting, every time.

OK, fatigue is definitely way too high lol. Gotta reevaluate my approach here.

OK.
Current plan:
- 3x/week alternating FS/HB
- FS: 3x3 based around 385/405/425
- HB: 3x3 based around 405/425/445
Think this was a little bit too high, but especially the occasional HB AMRAPs/PRs shot my fatigue sky high and the baseline sessions never let me recover.
New plan:
- 3x/week alternating FS/HB, swap HB out for FS while fatigue feels too high
- FS: singles based loosely around 405/425/445, heavy autoregulation
- HB: 3x3 based around 405/425/445, more emphasis on autoregulating based on avoiding grinding
