First Match: Went in and knew I was gonna kill it. Wasn’t an easy one but wasn’t terrible. Won 12-5. I hit a nice knee slide to a cut through and some good shots here but my on top game sucked.
Second Match: Again knew I was gonna murderize. I was really feeling it, only slightly tired. Pinned the kid like 3 minutes into the match. Good takedowns, cut through was a bit sloppy but it pulled out.
3rd Match: At this point I was dead tired I’d been in this gym for 7 hours lol. Started off the match with a good takedown but the other kid started picking the pace up and I was dead in the water. He pinned me in the 2nd period.
Summary:
-Went 2 wins 1 loss.
-Placed 2nd in the tournament.
-Bench session moved to tomorrow.

Awesome. I assume you are a senior? Are you planning on wrestling in college? How is the recruiting process for wrestling?[/quote]
Going to be a senior. If I get an offer somewhere I would. Honestly people come find you if you’re good, the community is small enough that if you’re regularly involved you know 90% of the kids so the recruiters know you’re good and they’ll talk to you.

Just drank a metric ton of water and feeling better. Just gonna rest up and try and do amazing at tomorrow’s squat session. I should’ve realized that it was the day after the tournament and shot for less amazing PRs.

Nice job man, I’ve seen a lot of progress in this log.[/quote]
Thanks mane, adding more calories/ going up in weight as well as getting the fuck off 5/3/1 (despite how many people think it’s religion around here) were the best decisions I ever made. I’m still so hungry for more though.
And thats not saying 5/3/1 is bad btw, but it wasn’t optimal for me.

Haha, I’m on 5/3/1 now, I just hate how people treat it like it’s the end all be all[/quote]
For some people its amazing, but I mean its not like because Jim Wendler came up with this we all have to follow it like religion… its annoying but whatever
In other news I think I’ve got tennis elbow because I don’t think a cramp anymore as its been consistently affecting me whenever I train. Any thoughts?

Lol I meant thoughts about how one might go about doing that…
I’ve been rubbing ice into the muscle bellies like sitting in my shower with a tub of ice and individually rubbing pieces in… I think I found the solution. Lol shit feels so good.
I would see a doctor. My friends had “tennis elbow” and it ended up being serious and keeping him out of a few games. Best advice is just not to strain it anymore then it is. Nice squatting!

Few things:
Hammer curls helped me alot due to imbalances from lots of pressing
Balance the shoulder - rear delt raises!
RICE (rest/ice/compression/elevation) for no more than 1-2 days to decrease swelling, then stimulate bloodflow, sometimes called MEAT. Basically, light movements to stimulate bloodflow to heal tendons.
