I think I am going to invest in some
elbow sleeves… mine bother me when I pull
its a lingering tendonitis thing for me…
do you type allot? aside from here,
I am thinking mine has to do with that
as well as some very repetitive work stuff.
good luck with the elbow.

Most definitely. The most likely place to find me - outside the gym - is at my computer(s). I’m sure that has a good bit to do with it.
Thanks kmcnyc.

Elbow was good on all sets, but I’m just gettin’ weaker. Lost weight yesterday and it shows up immediately with me in my benching.
Not a bad day, but a little below where I wanted to be.
Double whopper and banana split will take care of that weight loss. Go easy on that elbow.
I found a cat to keep my dog company.
I have elbow issues as well skid.I train in elbow sleeves to keep them warm and stable.I have a partial tear in my left elbow and tricep.Never had surgery and it has impacted my bench but training in the sleeves helps alot. I hardly ever get sore elbows.You are a commited lifter and I respect that bro! Have a GREAT weekend! Jimmy T

Thanks Jimmy. I’m going to pick up a pair of elbow sleeves. Can’t do anything but help and I need them for zercher’s in any case.
Sorry to hear about the layoff, but happy you get more time for training and family. Temporary situation, I’m sure, the layoff I mean.
Have yourself a good long weekend too.
Looks like tomorrow is going to be busy. I’ll have to train tonight. Squatties.

Squat Day cycle 2
Squats
Barx15
135x10

275x3
325x7 (almost 8 - descended, started to come up, lost the weight forward and right lumbar erectors cut out)

315 3x3
Good Morning Squats
235 3x8
ab wheel rollouts (from knees)
2x15
Back-unsupported straight leg raises

Think I’m going really deep in the squats. feel almost as deep as the Anderson squats. I’ve tapped the catchers a few times… Last comp after a missed 365 a few of the competitors told me I was going too deep. I may still be doing so.
I’ll get the 325 for eight reps next time for sure. stay at 235 for GM squats cuz they were fugly.
those GM-squats seem to be the hot new thing
and you did those after, after the other squats.
I need to train with a rack again…
good stuff

Out of the whole session, the GM squats kill me the most. I’m so tired and my back has been so thoroughly worked on the other two movements - I’m ready to quit on the second set at rep # 6. And my last 2 reps on the last two sets look like falling squats.
I dunno if they’re doing any good yet but they’ve been prescribed so I’m gonna keep at 'em. My back has been feeling better and stronger, but doesn’t yet seem to have the endurance that should result from these. I may be going too heavy for the movement and my level of fatigue, actually.
went to a movie with the family tonight and then out to a hamburger joint that sells 1-lb hamburgers.
I had me one and surprised myself by getting around the whole thing. And a big ole milkshake (thanks for the suggestion eco). came home and had a near-beer to polish it off.
The big dose of carbs has me pumped. I should be feeling pretty good in the morning. Looking forward to my 6 eggs and sausage patties for breakfast. Go pick up a side of grass-fed beef from the Bud’s Custom Meats in Penngrove just outside of Petaluma in the afternoon after my boy’s music lessons. We’re doing this instead of fixing the car. Can’t eat a car…

As strong as you’ve been getting, I would not doubt that you might be able to eat a car now.

I’ll second that!
Well, maybe one of those little clown cars like at the circus. Would give a new meaning to the phrase “drive-in restaurant” were that the case, no?
Got myself a nice little powerlifter tummy going.
The powerlifters tummy adds balance my brother!
Gotta get me some more balance then!
Helped some friends move today. The husband was out of the house working and the wife was too small, so it was just me against the dressers and the dining room table on the stairs.
Feel tired, but not hurt. Going to attempt some DL’ing tomorrow.

Still hurts, but seems to be okay once its warmed up.
