You can say again GW! What I have is actually "golfer's elbow". Pretty much the same thing, just on the inside of arm instead of outside.

I looked back in my written log, and the first time I hurt this elbow I had worked up to 105 x 5 with the EZ bar. Even after I hurt though, I was able to do presses. I stopped doing skulls until it recovered, then switched to DB's. Everything seemed to be ok, but then one day...

Hi Jen
Gotta work today Tomorrow depends on the weather. Hope to take the Porsche out for a test drive. I put a new thermo switch in it so hopefully it won't over heat! Then I can park it in the yard and slap a for sale sign on it !

How about you ?

Hi Gorgeous !
Cheat day today won't be as good as I promised you last week. I have to work today and that cuts into my cheating time/opportunities . But next week looks like it will be a more normal schedule !

Have a great day !

The days not too bad , things are kinda slow at the store today but since i am running the produce dept today I have plenty to do !

No workout today. Start my second time through with RepRange / Legs tomorrow though Just finished my second time through with Power week. Overall it was better than the first time through. Hopefully everytime through will be better than the time before

Have a great one !

The list is long and distinguished. But I liked my Maserati better , hand made in Italy ! I don't keep any of them for long , got to move on to the next one ! Haven't found the one I want to keep yet . But so far it looks like it might be my 69 Super Bee but i have a long way to go on it . The motor and tranny are rebuilt now all i have to do is restore evrything else .

But to answer your question ..YES !

Awww, don't do that . It took along time to get to where I could do this kind of stuff. When i was your age I went from paycheck to paycheck and many a times there was still some month left over after the end of the paycheck !
I got started on the cars using the banks money. Bought one ,fxed it up , sold it , paid off the bank and then did another the same way until I finally saved up enough profit to start using my own money to buyand fix up. I don't do it to make money , but to have the cars . even if it only for awhile

That is so cool you do that GW. You grew up in the muscle car era like I did. I never really got into that, but at the end of the neighborhood where I lived there was a popular drag strip, illegal road dragging of course. Watching the tricked out cars was incredible. Oh how times have changed.

I can do better on cheats ! Will give it a try tonight . Time for my saturday night pizza and appetizer
I was hoping they weren’t 70lb DB’s lol. I never like BB or EZ bar skulls, always do em DB style. But I think I may have to get my elbow checked out b/c I have been having some pains in them. My last power week I really kicked ass and I may have irritated something when doing tri’s. I hurts when I use em pretty much on the inside portion of my elbow. Not to much that I can’t manage anything and the pain has been going away a little but it still worries me.

It always is. Each time you run through a cycle it seems to always get better and better, once you become very familiar with the entire routine it starts to move like a well oiled machine and things just happen heh. I have pretty much memorized my entire 3 week cycle and weights so I am getting much more confident and am willing to experiment a little.

Anything I should do about it? The pain is steadily going away but should I be doing something for it besides rest?

Rest it, and if it gives you more trouble, stop the skullcrushers. I injured it, let it heal, injured it, let it heal, switched to DB's (which was better), then injured it... and then it started to bother me on ALL presses. Then I hurt it really bad. Point being, I kept trying to work thru the injury, and many times that works. In this case, it finally went.
