Deadlift - 425 for 3 reps
A big deadlift rep PR for me just because I’ve never deadlifted over 415 for reps before!
Incline
195x10
Close grip incline
170x8,8
Blah terrible day for strength, but still “technically” hit a PR.
OHP: 3 x 70kg (was supposed to do it for 6 sets), 3 x 7 x 60kg, 2 x 6 x 60kg.
Definitely hit a new rep PR for 60kg as well as volume.
Bench 115kg, which is a PR with flat feet and a pause. 120kg soon to match my super tucked PR
2/17/15 - Trap Bar Deadlift 315 lbs. x 30 w/ straps; would rest for 30 seconds after 10th rep/20th rep. Back, Arms, and Glutes on fire.

Golfer’s elbow.
Do your pre-hab. Don’t get tendonitis. It sucks and never seems to go away. After months of stretches, active rest, wrapping the tendon, anti-inflammatories, etc., etc., etc., I was only able to get it down to the point where it’s manageable. I still have a little bit of pain more often than not. But I can do most things without it turning into a lot of pain. I’ve had to change my grip on some things (like my bench now is very narrow). But I’m happy with that.[/quote]
What kind of pre-hab is there for elbows? Glad to hear it’s down to a manageable level.

You can only temporarily alleviate the pain tennis elbow/golfer’s elbow with the aformentioned methods. The only way to fix it for good is with a good couple weeks of trigger point therapy. ART, rolfing, etc.

I will agree with the first statement, but not necessarily the second.
What type of tendonitis, lateral or medial? outside of elbow or inside?
My bad, posted my log here
Benched 110kg x 2 paused
117.5kg x 1 paused
Close grip reactive slingshot 295x4
Squat 200kg x 4
Incline 195x15
The other day I squatted 225lbs for 20 without a belt. And yesterday I did 235 for 20 with a belt, easy. So I’m going to start working my way up and getting as many reps as possible before I hit a 3-5 RM. I haven’t maxed on squats in a long time so I don’t have a clue what it could be.
I also benched 205 lbs for a 5RM two days ago.
Not actually a PR, but a recent best. 3 BP singles @ 315, each with a 3 second pause. Form is coming together on these.
405x5, 405x3, 405x3 squat. Total volume PR over 400 by 6 reps, and a single set PR by 1 rep. 500 will go down by Easter.
deadlift - 285 for 10x3. Yes, I’m doing a Waterbury program right now.
Pulled 540 sumo stance (I normally pull conventional) for 2 singles.
DL
300 x 5, despite all my other lifts going down (moved to another city, inconsistency i the gym and w/ eating).
I guess I can say I’m fully recovered from any hip/knee/back problems, since I’m hitting PRs w/ the lower body stuff.

Update: Squatted 255 for 20 today. Will attempt 275 for 16-18 next leg day. These are already huge PRs for me so far.
Slingshot bench (blue) 315x2
DB bench 100’s x 6
Incline 205x15

My bad, missed this whole discussion!
Golfer’s elbow is medial, tennis elbow is lateral.
I’m with Eccha on this one. From my understanding, tendinitis is very hard to cure. Rarely, it will go away on its own or with the above-mentioned methods. The only really tried-and-true way to fix it for good is with surgery (and even that has a fairly high failure rate).
In most cases, you just have to learn to take care of it and learn to work with it instead of against it. Mine’s not that severe, and I’ve found ways to train around it without aggravating it (and learned when not to push it), so surgery anytime soon isn’t an option.
