Looks like youve been limiting yourself, you seem to be handling this insanity well enough, dude!

You told me to watch out on the Skullcrushers, and I did. I have a little bit of pain in my left elbow, but I'm not sure if it's from the Skullcrushers or an injury. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

I'm in 100% agreement. I think tossing in some high reps from time to time has many good things going for it.

Thanks, Gaz!

I do mix things up. But I usually do it by increasing the density of workouts, not the reps. But I think I'll do a lot more active recovery from now on.

TSP - Bench - Day 8: Elbowed

Like I said to Sam, I have some pain in my left elbow. I'm not sure if it's because of any particular exercise or when I mixed it up with a girl scout on Monday (she won). Only time will tell.

I did reach a goal today. All without planning too. On my first rep of WG Pull-ups, forgetting that I've only ever been able to do them assisted, I grabbed the bar and did an easy, unassisted, pull-up. My first one ever. Onward and upward!

I only did 1 set of Squats because at the final rep of that set, I popped the only button on my shorts, my shorts dropped to my knees, and went into a laughing fit. Which almost made me drop the bar. I usually wear elastics shorts.

BB Bench Supramax/BB Bench Partial/Wide Grip Pull-up
225 @ 8 seconds/3 @ 175/3 @ BW (assisted)
225 @ 8 seconds/3 @ 175/3 @ BW (assisted)
225 @ 8 seconds/3 @ 175/3 @ BW (assisted)
225 @ 8 seconds/3 @ 175/3 @ BW (assisted)

Skullcrusher/DB Decline Pull-overs/Standing Hammer Curls
3 @ 80/3 @ 25/3 @ 45
3 @ 80/3 @ 30/3 @ 40
3 @ 80/3 @ 30/3 @ 40
3 @ 80/3 @ 30/3 @ 40

BB Squats

Try fish oil for the joint pain its like 10 dollars a bottle at Costco and take around 15 a day.

trust me

My cousin lost her job in salt lake and it really crushed her she was a broker. Wishing you a great year to come everything happens for a reason.

Hmm, the thing with Skullcrushers is that everyone keeps banging on 'form, form, form. You've got to have strict form otherwise you'll get injured.'

You know what? I think Skullcrushers is just one of those things that causes problems, kind of like Upright Rows.

I can recommend Emu Oil and Glucosamine gel for elbow pain. You'll get it out of most health food/supplement shops i would imagine, although i hope you recover fully before you need it - obviously

Laughed out loud at the fact that you popped your button on your shorts - hilarious

And nice one on the BW Pullup, may there be many more to come!

That's not a good reason to stop an exercise. Forget about the shorts and keep squating!

Thanks, Nordic. I'm already taking Glucosamine/Chondroitin, MSM, and fish oil. They're part of daily pill-fest.

Sorry to hear about your cousin. But the employment sector in SLC is booming. She should be able to get a job pretty quickly.

Thanks, and may you have a good year also.

I'm already taking Glucosamine, but I'll see if I can find some Emu oil.

You're laughing with me right?






Thanks for the support with my pull-ups, too!
