Because I am old and once literally destroyed my back. Are we going to do this again?

Yes.
Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me!

Fine. I will use the opportunity to remind that all my best pulls are conventional. I pulled 220 from a deficit that was just above my shoelaces. At 77 kilo BW. So go munch on a giant pile of dicks.

Don’t you go quoting ancient history at me, go back to real lifting and show us what you can/how broken you can be!

Just scroll back in my log to June or July for some recent history. I will mail you some tissue to dry your tears. Or whatever else needs drying.

So you can do it and have done it recently, therefore I feel the need to quote myself:

No, you misunderstand entirely. It was all just too easy. I needed a new challenge. Mayhap one day I will again decide to be fat and lazy and go back to all that easy stuff.

Well see, here is the thing….what exactly the fuck am I not doing? I started deadlifting again and can still incline press your mom for probably 20 reps. Add to that all the other stuff you currently cannot yourself manage.
Is it the squats?

Another good day on the decline. Dropped the top down 5 kilo and was aiming for 4 reps, and I was just able to manage it. Pretty certain I have never done that before, so pretty crazy to do it at this BW. I have my mind set on doubling three plates, as I have never managed it. I think I am close, but it has been a while since I have even had that much on the bar, so I have to work up to it.
Backoff were also very good.

Fairly routine day with the jumps, just the usual without a lot of reps. Did a few loaded jump squats and fried my legs with a bunch of light reps on the regular squat. Have not had a barbell on my back like this in a while, and it sorta confirmed for me that traditional squatting is the main cause for my elbow issues…which have been very manageable since dropping the squats. I probably should just avoid them and find alternatives. Or just keep doing what I am doing.

I recommend this to most people, so probably already have to you, but have you tried the talon grip for squats? Mainly for shoulder issues but might help the elbow?

Tried it once, probably on your prompting, and gave it up more or less immediately. I think my body just isn’t going to let me back squat anymore. Just kinda funny that it is because of upper body issues. For my current goals it doesn’t really matter.

That is exactly what is happening, unfortunately. I am broken and infirm and unable to do anything.
