My elbow is slowly getting better. I could do light pulldowns today. I’m pretty confident it should be good for the meet. Just one more light lifting day and then stretching and cardio for a week.

That’s it. Just stretching and cardio for the next six days. I normally would only do my opener today, but I wanted to test my elbow. Due to my injury, I have been wearing elbow sleeves this entire training cycle. Today I trained without the sleeves. Both lifts were no problem.
My setup was a little off at 300, but that might have been my lift off. One of my young officers was there. I asked if he could lift me off. He said, “Only if I can say I worked out with you.” I told him that was fine. He gave me a really strong lift and nearly lifted me and the bar off the bench.
I still have some pain in my elbow, but I have slacked off rehab the past few days. I’ll get back on ice and compression this week.

I did a little stretching too.
According to the bathroom scale, I’m well under weight, but you can’t be too careful. We’ll head out around noon and I should get there around 2:00 or 3:00. The elbow is feeling much better. Now, however, the left knee has decided to swell up. One of my clerks at work said something about getting old…
I’m pretty confident about my first two lifts, since I am going to start pretty light. After that we’ll see.
