Typically the first photo.
Before you dig much further, I’ll let you know that I’m simply not a guy that’s gonna do pre/rehab, haha. I’ve found what works for me, and for the most part it’s just mindfulness. Not having to shovel snow is nice too, but probably be a few years before I get that luxury.
Alright, that’s commonly referred to as golfer’s elbow in case you ever want to research it further. Hit me up if you decide you want to rehab it after all.
Definitely appreciate the invitation dude. That’s pretty much what I figured it to be as well. The snow shoveling would always point it out to me.
Well, there’s another excuse to get out of chores 
I enjoy it. It’s cathartic to see instant reward for your effort. Gives me a chance to put on some music too. And can burn a significant amount of calories when done right.
I actually wear my weight vest when I have the chance to. Great little sneaky workout.
Hmm I never thought of it that way…
I maybe could use some help. Having the exact same issue when doing chins. Definitely been better since I’ve been doing chins everyday here the last month. Before that I didn’t do them much because of the pain. Overhand bb rows kills my elbow too. If I do them Dorian style it’s no problem. Our PT department offered a free consultation but just showed me some stretches that I typically already do.
@T3hPwnisher sorry to throw this in your log.
No worries dude.
No, although that would be much cooler. I meant an actual hangboard.
Me too. Had to Google hang board.
I’ll holler back at you this evening. Where do you want it posted? Do you have a log?
Started a Golfer’s Elbow Help thread under injuries and rehab thanks!

Notes: 3:45 between first 5 giant sets, then 2:00 rest and only a superset with keg cleans and reverse hypers, then 5:00 rest and squat stripset. Sets of 12 still suck a LOT, and this close to the race I’m sure I’m still rebuilding a bit. Interestingly, my left knee is achy but my hips seem “open” for the first time in a LONG time. Depth came very easy, and it felt like I was squatting between my knees rather than over them. Felt nice to be smoth again.
Keg cleans may also be a culprit on the left knee aching a little. I tend to need to pivot hard on it for the clean, and the metal slams into it. Working on explosiveness for now: need to rebuild the feeling for them so I can get heavy.
Swapped out the Kodiak oatmeal for some old fashion steel cut oats. They mixed a lot easier in my post workout meal, just need to see how well they digest. Trying to rediscover nutrition in the absence of the extra 15 miles of running a week but still with a goal of putting on some mass.
Hit a set of 20 NG chins as part of my daily back work.
This is worse than anything I do 
In what way worse?
The pain of giant set squats is infinitely worse than burpees for me
For everyone I think.
@anna_5588 Sets of 12s on squats are especially awful. Those and 15s. When it’s a set of 20, you can kinda gear up mentally for it, and a set of 10 is “short”-ish, but 12 is too long too be short and too short to be long. It’s like running 1.5 miles: it’s just never going to feel good, haha.
Reminds me that I retooled this workout so that I’ll be doing 12s, 9s and 7s vs 10s 8s and 6s. Just something to break up stagnation and get a little more volume.
I feel the exact same man. It’s something about the loading. It’s not as heavy as a set of 10, so the gauging in strange. That 12th rep of a top set is always super rough because (unless you do them all the time) you have no reference point. And like you said, the set of 20 is easier to get amped for because you know it will suck and the load is typically light in comparison where as the 12 set gets wayyy worse around rep 7-9
Spot on. Our shared misery on Deep Water is showing, haha. That intermediate program was the equivalent of your dad telling you to pick which belt to use to whip you. I spent the whole 13 days between squat workouts trying to figure out which configuration of midrep squats would suck the least, and they all sounded awful.
