Did "something" to the palm of my left hand - not sure what.  I have a small "lump" that hurts like the devil when doing any kind of support - discolored - may be a busted blood vessel from the look of it?  Skipped Power Forearms today - hurt too much.

Dumbbell Curls - 40# x 10 x 1 ----35# x 10 x 1
EZ Bar French Press - 60# x 10 x 3  This hit closer to the elbow but not as much in the belly of the Triceps - I think I like the band triceps better

I think I have found the first marker - 140# seems to be the first failure point (two workouts in a row).  A couple more workouts should let me get all my reps - then I have to decide how to proceed to get the next 10 pounds to doing Power Forearms with 150#.   Once I get to the 150# goal - I'll start some triples I think.

Just looked up the qualifying numbers for National (103) and World Masters in Olympic Lifting (107).  107 kilograms total between the two lifts - Snatch and Clean and Jerk.  For years now I have tried to achieve this and have been successful each January.  I have no desire to compete again but this is an item on my 75 by 75 list that I use as a measuring stick for the ageing process.  I don't think it will be any problem.   Sometime in January I'll give it a go.  Then start hitting a couple items off the list until I hit  75 - no hurry as I have all year.
