Started to feel elbow pain at this point so switched to very light weights and trying to feel the pump / stretch. I really don’t want some of the elbow injuries I’ve had in the past.

Time to start an upper body de-load I think. If anyone else reads this got any tips for elbow pain caused by too much pressing? Would really appreciate some feedback

Shoulders need some getting used to the DBs. Left rotator cuff was a bit sore but don’t think any damage done. Main thing is elbows feel great! Think it was the heavy skull crushers on last arm workout that screwed them. Let’s see how things progress!
Bent over BB row
100kgx6
100kgx6 - for sure time to move up in weight on this exercise.
Barbell Shrugs
150kgx8
150kgx8 - move up in weight a small amount next workout
Weighted pull-ups
Switched to overhand because I feel like the lat width needs more work. Would love some feedback on the video guys - does this video link work?IMG_0814.MOV - Google Drive

Followed by a few underhand partial reps as I felt my arms were doing too much work compared to my back
Abdominal wheel
5 reps x 2 sets
Decided to keep trying the free pre workout samples I’ve been sent. Today Excelcisor. For sure feels different to hydrazine but definitely works in its own way. I think I prefer this one for deadlifts as it doesn’t make me feel zoned out for the rest of the day. Loving how intense my workouts are getting now. Squats and deadlifts are all mental.
Leg day today
Just back from 2 days in Germany due to work and definitely had too much beer and carbs and didn’t eat well, so only did 100kg on the first squat set in order to see how my body felt
Stiff leg DL:
100kgx4 - could have done the extra 2 reps but really started to get a splitting headache half way through the set. Decided to switch to leg curl to finish off hamstrings as didn’t want to aggravate it further. Maybe a delayed reaction from sweating out all the booze. Hope nothing too serious.
Leg curl:
35kgx15
Calve raises (bodyweight, one leg at a time)

Rotator cuff was still a bit sore so took a while to warm up, lots of stretching, and used more volume than weight. Hopefully next shoulder workout will be back to normal.
