Almost embarrassed to post this, but you guys know what's up. Decided to test the elbows. Still feel it, so I'm not sure if I should be doing any pushing at all. Elbows feel fine today though.

Deep Squats

185 x 20

Decided to stop there since I planned on dl'ing too.

Deadlifts

Nice Deads BTW Jersey! Bet they were fun

yellowmoomba · 09-30-2007, 08:49 AM

Don't worry about the "pushing". I'd take all week off pushing movements.....You will not lose anything by taking all week off.

20 rep squats again

and some deads

Brutus_G · 09-30-2007, 12:08 PM

Nothing wrong with some light work lord knows i should probably follow my own advice.

You missed it being in Switzerland. I did take off last week, from everything. Was planning on just lower body this week, then resuming upper body next week. But of course after a week off I couldn't resist trying bench. I might do light inclines tonight.

Hey JD - How'd the workout feel today? OK?

Brutus_G · 10-02-2007, 04:56 PM

Nicely done brother JD.

PreMier · 10-02-2007, 06:23 PM

hows the arms?

Triple Threat · 10-02-2007, 08:14 PM

Do the curls bother your elbows at all? Just thinking of possible exercises that could be contributing to the elbow problem.

Archangel · 10-03-2007, 04:38 PM

Take care of them elbows my Friend (I know you are, just gotta say it my Friend) Excellent w/o's by the way!!!

Yes curls affect it too. When your elbows are messed up, you pretty much are screwed on any movement that requires bending the arm. Hell, deadlifting is ok though

Hey JD what are your current goals?

First and foremost.... get over joint pain.

The other long term goals would be to match my PR's when juicing. Because of my bum elbows, probably will never match assisted 320 bench, but I did do 300 natural. I have matched my 405 deadlift. Best below parallel squat was 365. Now I'm more of a higher rep squat guy, but I am still close.

Other then that, it is to stay healthy and to keep surprising the 'younger' guys in the gym. People still give me funny looks when I do 245 for reps on incline. I like that.

katt · 10-04-2007, 10:37 PM

so enlighten me on this.... the elbows do get better?

Until the next cycle.?

JerseyDevil · 10-05-2007, 02:07 PM

Your elbows still bother you Katt? Mine seem to be the result of several things. Arthritis, flare ups of tendonitis. I type on a PC all day, I know that doesn't help matters. I was able to manage it pretty well, but then it really flared up bad this summer, and I am having trouble getting back to a manageable state.

Burner02 · 10-05-2007, 02:14 PM

do any supps. help? That glucco...stuff?

yellowmoomba · 10-05-2007, 02:14 PM

Looks like your elbow is OK

What's your prediction for OSU/Purdue ???

I haven't had any problems for the last 2 weeks, which is great!! But we've lowered our weights and are doing higher reps now, which has helped I think!
