I never did the elevation part, just iced it. For a while I wore some sleeves that have ceramic magnets in the elbow area, just around the house, I think they helped too. The idea was about magnetics and the iron in your blood increasing blood flow. Since tendons get almost none. Anyway, I think they helped too. I think the website is HessScript or something like that. It’s a chiropractic type supply site, they were really cheap.
Glad to hear they’re feeling better!
On a related note, Master and Justice are the only LP’s I ever wanna hear. Death Magnetic sounded like they were trying so hard to be bad ass again…
And all the live stuff sounds embarrassing. Sorry…IMHO…LOL!

Hahaha, that’s some true say there bro!
Metallica had a heckuva run, but I think it’s time they resorted to chips, beer and the couch potato routine, and just let other bands step up to the podium. Can’t imagine what over 3 decades of jamming and playing live does to your hearing!!
What else do you enjoy listening to while hauling ass in the gym? [/quote]
Actually, I don’t listen to any thing when I lift, just whatever shitty tunes are playing in the gym. I find it too distracting to listen to tunes, as I am a musician so I end up analyzing more than listening, especially when I have earbuds in.
I’ll tell ya what 3 decades of playing does to your ears: Tinnitus. I started using special ear plugs after about 12 years of playing and then went to custom molded attenuators, but once you have tinnitus you’re screwed.
I am an old metal guy though, Pantera, Slayer, Sabbath, King Diamond, Anthrax, some new shit though, like Trivium, Firewind, Dream Evil. Ya know, real metal. IMO…

Wow…I am amazed at the fact… that you’re a true metal head and you don’t listen to that shit while training with weights?! To each their own I suppose! Makes sense somewhat being a musician and all.
The bands you mentioned are some of the best metal I’ve heard in the last 20 years or so, and listen to them pretty much the only time when I’m sprinting or powerlifting. Don’t listen to it otherwise, as it gets me all fired up and pissed off for no reason!
Generally, I don’t mind peace in the gym, the clinging and clanging of barbells, dumbells and machines… is a very soothing and welcoming sound when you set foot in the gym. But they got this girly, testosterone-obliterating commercial crap playing on the sound system…only way I know is to tune it out with heavy ass metal tunes on my mp3 player.
Rock on!
