I hate hockey too!! i also don’t like beer and am indifferent towards maple syrup :).
I was born in canada but i have yet to learn how to ice skate. Maple syrup is absolutely disgusting in my opinion.
Haven’t had maple syrup in a while, but I think its damn good. I’m not much of a beer drinker, or any alcohol for that matter. I don’t mind some straight scotch though, and got some that I bought in Scotland shipped to me. Did a 2 week guided tour in Scotland and Ireland this summer. It was an amazing trip! And the women…
First hockey game in forever went well last night. We won 7-2 I think. All I got was a helper, but it was a beauty. However, it was a late game and I had to get up for work at 5am, so I’m going on less than 4 hours right now and my hips are reminding me that I haven’t skated in a while.
Love Maple Syrup. Love Football.

I’ve come to the realization that its probably best for me to stop doing low bar squats for now, even though I’m just 8 1/2 weeks out. I’ve had some form of tendinitis since March and its just not healing. I’ve toughed it out, but I guess its time for me to be smart about it. So I’ll be starting high bar this Friday. Guess I might need to hammer my posterior chain a little more.

Try wrapping your elbow like a knee with a knee wrap if you have access to one and just go through a range of motion this is how I normally get through my geared training cycles
I have some inzer knee wraps. Managed to put it on my elbow a couple of times for compression. So your saying I should do that except move my elbow around too? Or…are you saying I should squat with them on my elbow? I’m guessing the first choice.

Compression with movement. Wrapping the forearm generally helps also depending if your pain is similar to mine(back of the elbow and the forearm) Which is cause by the “biceps” and the forearm stabilizers. Also you could also move your hands out a bit for the next couple weeks then move them back in. I also do extremely light hammer curls 20-30 reps just to allow blood to get into the inflamed tendons and of coarse elbow sleeves but they’re a bit pricey and I did all the other stuff for 3-4 cycles till I couldn’t bear it any longer
Cool, thanks for the tip.

Does that mean you’re a Texans fan?
Yea, I like the Texans. I am a born and bred Cowboy fan though. Sometimes I wonder why…They’re 2-1, but don’t look too good so far.
Should have some video of my deadlift workout I’m doing later today.
3-0 is looking good for them.
Sucks being a Cowboy fan.

Wasn’'t feeling it today but battled through it. Nothing special with the 5 reps on top set. May not be the best time to experiment, but I wonder how my deadlift would go week 3 if I didn’t deadlift at all week 2. I might skip it and find out.
