I had to get these astoundingly good looks from somewhere. Duh.

I approve of all of this content.
I don’t approve of the following content, however. On paper it looks fine, but it felt piss-poor. Too much extra push on the presses, and no power left for the DBs (and an improper warmup). Not thrilled, but live to fight another day, etc.

Yeah, my left elbow is just jacked at this point. Not sure what to do about it. Kind of demoralizing.

Did you injure it or is it more of a repetitive stress injury?

Did you just call him a wanker

Well then it would have been my right elbow.

Repetitive. You’re still new around here, so you probably don’t know the absurd numbers of pullups and muscle ups I used to do. Before I became a fatty.

Thought you were a 2 hander 
Let me tell you……. Back in my day 
Such filth! And you would speak to a lady that way? 
I am shocked. Truly shocked.
Obviously I assumed you were a righty.
I was wondering because I’ve have endless troubles with my right elbow (from my job in ultrasound, not because I wank myself or anyone else. At least not enough to cause injury.) and pull-ups tend to irritate it.
So are you implying that he is ambidextrous or that 2 hands are required at once? Because one of those is a much better compliment than the other.

That is a term of endearment down here. Actually used for a number of meanings and clean enough to be heard on national radio. I guess it may be ruder depending where you live.

Well, I don’t know what it means where you live, but it is a term that isn’t actually used here at all. Lol. Except if someone is trying to sound less American. However, from context clues I think we both know what meaning you were implying. And so I stick with my original statement of filth! And this sir, is why I read the logs of what I have come to refer to as “The Grand Trio”. You, @wiseman83 and @Cyrrex bring joy to my filth ladened mind. 
Edit: That’s not the only reason I read them. But it’s definitely a reason I read them.

I don’t know, he could just be referring to my weirdly small hands.

Right now, pull-ups are definitely making it worse, but I am not convinced they are the original cause. That’s a longer conversation. But it is clear that I have been putting unusual amounts of torque on both my elbows over the years, and only a maximum of 50% of that is due to wanking.

Hadn’t thought of that. Solid point.

Sometimes this shit doesn’t make sense. I think last week I was moaning and groaning about deadlifts being bullshit. Today I decided to start out Sumo just to see if it felt better. It didn’t. 170 felt shitty, so I switched back to conventional. Fast forward, and a rep PR at 210. Never even did it for a double before.

You could have come in here to congratulate me on my meaningless PR, but no, you had to choose evil and repeat the joke I already made.
