Not bad practice tonight…
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?[/quote]
My thoughts … fix it.[/quote]
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.[/quote]
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.
good luck[/quote]
OK I Do hammer Curls already and I’ll start incorporating more rear delt raises. I’ve been doing ice and resting it as much as possible (I’m an idiot who can never just STOP despite injuries) do you think it’d be a good idea to tape it for compression?

Weighed in 188.7. Drinking and eating until 200
6/9/12
I’m currently 200 with bloat, going to bring home some more wins today. So amped up, ready to kill
how do you have control over your bw like that? It sounds so easy for you to drop to 188 then get back to 200 in merely some hours.

Wrestling teaches you a LOT about how to do stuff like this. Plus I think my stomach must be expanded beyond belief because I drink water so much all the time.
So I started at 198 2 nights ago on the 7th. I woke up on the 8th at a weight of 194 (you lose weight while sleeping) drank 8oz of water and a shake and some eggs. I studied for finals for like an hour then went and trained (in sweatpants and a t shirt nothing special) then threw on a sweatshirt and pushed the prowler those 10 times. I showered up, then I was 190. I studied until weighin time and did nothing really, and I was 188 when I stepped on the scale. Get in the car nail a PB sandwhich, banana, and gatorade and 2 water bottles. Get home down a gallon of water over 2 hours and like 2000 calories of meat/ rice/ veggies and shit next thing you know I’m 200 again.
It’s not hard at all honestly

6/9/12
Placed 2nd today.
First match got a forfeit, kid never showed.
2nd match got a kid from my school who I pinned easily in the 2nd period.
3rd match the kid caught my arm in a hammer lock (basically holding it behind my own back) and it hurt badly enough that I thought my tricep was gonna retear so I just let it happen basically.
Whatever lol, bench tomorrow. Didn’t do horrible today but was annoyed at the last match.

Physics summer school is looking probable, can honestly say I’ve done everything I can to study it though so whatever happens, happens
