Keone 2/4 and 2/5

I've been having problems with bicep tendonitis (I think) from squatting. I recently switched grips because my old grip was really bad and involved bending my wrists back a lot, and it was also not very stable. My new grip is about as wide as can be, with my shoulders pulled back more, wrists forced straight, and thumbs on the same side as the rest of my fingers. The new grip seems a lot more robust and more proper, but it makes my biceps hurt like no other.

So on Friday I went to the gym intending to test my maxes, but I ended up in so much bicep pain from squatting that I had to stop.

On Saturday I went again, since I'd already said I'd be there (and I needed to learn the commands anyway). Maybe not the best move, but whatever. Started squatting again, and same thing.

I iced it and did some bro curls (heh) and that seemed to ease the pain. Bench was still shitty. After about an hour, the pain had eased enough to deadlift, so now I have a 1RM PR there.

Deadlift
295x5
315x3
335x2
345x1
355x1
365x1x3 (PR) (repeated the single two more times to build mental confidence)
335x5x2 (these seemed a lot easier afterward)

I will be disciplined about stretching in the future, and I will try to adjust the grip some more. I'm also gonna get some neoprene sleeves to see if they help. In the very least they'll help me mentally go into Frank mode. This seems to have some helpful suggestions, and I'll do some more internet reading as well.
