i bought a door anchor to be able to use my resistance band as a cable substitute. starting the workout with straight arm pulldown served as pre-fatigue and i felt the db row much more in my lats. last chest superset was also perfect. everything literally clicked today. it was a great workout.

Unfortunately what i feared the most happened.
My right elbow was already injured but after i pushed through this workout, it got a lot worse. it looks like i wont be able to train my arms directly for a while.

I was feeling awesome, workouts were great, i was getting into a nice shape for summer and boom.

Bw calf raise 1x15 at the end for burnout

I never skipped leg day but didnt use to like it at all. This year im really enjoying training them. I think i finally found the right exercises for my body. I eliminated my former staples goblet squat and all deadlift variations because i noticed they gave me constant lower back pain. 1 or 2 squat variations, 1 lunge variation, 1 leg curl and 1 calf raise is the formula for me nowadays.

No regulars curls (palms up) or triceps extensions for a while unfortunately. I even skipped band straight arm pulldown because it aggrevates my right elbow. I hate the feeling of uncertainty that injuries bring to your life because you dont know when you can go back to your original program. I started to wear tshirts due to weather but i cant train my arms. That really sucks. Next upper body session, i will give cross body hammer curls and db kickbacks a try. Maybe i can get away with them.

I have been MIA lately because i had some stomach issues like early satiety, bloating and gas. My gastroentrologist did upper gi ultrasound and some blood tests which all came back fine so gallbladder stones or enlarged spleen are eliminated. on tuesday i will have an endoscopy. i hope there is nothing serious and its just functional indigestion, food intolerance or something. This issue made lose some weight on the scale and motivation in the gym but i still train.

i had my endoscopy done few days ago. it might be a mild gastritis.
doctor is waiting for the biopsy. if its helicobactery related, i will use antibiotics.
if not, he wont prescribe any medicine, just dietary changes.
After i learned that i dont have any serious illness or something, my appetite came back strong. I am constantly eating (clean food only) and my body is already fuller.

This is a workout from my tnation log in 2017. I had 3 separate full body workouts back then. I will do the other 2 as well next week. Logs are great for seeing how your training evolves as you get older.
