I know my pics will look worse than Sept.



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

What the Heck you doing up at 5 in the morning for?

On the Bentover BB Rows I notice that when I start to go heavier, I cheat a little more and take the stress off the muscles I am working. Remeber to keep you head up and mid section tight. Try to make it feel like you are trying to get your shoulder blades to touch, and squeeze.

Good workout Do the deadlifts hurt your arm?



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I switched to 7am-7pm at work for a few days. Yeah, I'll have to lower the weight on BB rows now like it or not. I'll be positive about it though and see it as a chance to reconnect with proper form.

Deadlifts hurt my arm minimally. You know how you bendem a bit at the top when you roll your shoulders back? That's where it get's bothered.

Ok... I got to like page 5 and skipped to the end
I will go back and read on Mon, cuz im really busy today. Sounds like you are doing good man. Also for your tendonitis do you have one of the velcro wraps for your arm? I used to have a wrap to put just below my elbow, and that helped a ton. I was also recently told about an oil called Olba(sp) and it is from Switzerland or something... Anyway the guy told me to get it at one of those natural stores, and apply it to the inflamed are twice a day. I will pick up some this weekend and let ya know how it feels. Keep up the good work

Yeah, let me know how that works! I've though about getting a wrap, but that wouldn't help with curls would it?

See, thats where mine starts to bug too, is on the preacher curls. It starts on my tricep workout actually... Doing dumbell pullovers( ) I guess thats what they are lol Any ways when I am working out, I try and just stretch it as much as possible. The wrap should help with that, but it feels wierd... You are supposed to have it pretty tight and it kinda bugs me. Thats why I dont use it much while working out. I got it for like 10$ and I think its meant to be worn all day but I dunno. I will try and get some of that oil this weekend if I can find some and let you know how it works. I am pretty stubborn and I just kinda ignore my tendonitis... However mine only bothers me when im lifting, not throughout the day.

Yeah, hopefully back to the gym tomorrow. But light weight. Still not sure about this. Bought an elbow brace though! Maybe I'll try that out tomorrow. I just don't want to weaken the tendons.
