Hike with dog in woods for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Decided today, I am ditching Westside. So far all I have done is flair up my problem elbows, to make pushing movements painful. Fucked up my knees, after successfully rehabiliating them to where I could do squats again, and feeling unconfident in my pressing lifts. I know WS is great in theory, and works for many, but it doesn't work for everyone. Ramping sets, and DC seems to be the best for me, and that is where I'm going.


I dont blame you for dropping westside.....my shoulder problems were at their best whenever I was doing westside...of course my strength was doing pretty well to.....:thinking:

Finding out what works best FOR YOU is the hardest thing when lifting (just ask S20 ...hahahahahahaha He's still trying to figure it out)

:laugh:
 
Great w/o's Brother JD, your doin Great imo!!! Be careful w/the elbows, do you use wraps (ace Bandage) on them, just a thought, they help keep the joints warm!!! Also maybe try some Dit Da Jow on the wlbows, that worked for me!!!

Although it is too early to tell, I believe WS was improving lower body power. However, it is kind of hard to hit pressing maxes when you have pain. The body tends to protect itself. Jersey will be back.

Exactly YM.

I see the CF polls came out. Your boyz are up there! In addition to my guys, I may have to start routing for the Scarlet Knights :thumb: . You have to admit, Rutgers is a great story. Wonder if they can keep it up this year. I think they can.

How is your FF team coming?
 
We've heard alot about Westside, but haven't tried it as yet.....

I'm always complaining about my hubby's aches & pains..... but now, since we're into this cycle... my elbow has been bothering me since I've shot up with the weights so fast....

I feel like such a freaking weenie

I like to see the smaller schools do well. I loved the Boise State/Oklahoma game last year (one of my all time favorite football games to watch). They were all over the ESPY's this year. Rutgers running is coming back right ??

I'll let you know about my FF team next week. We'll see how next Monday night goes.
 
I use a mixed grip on the heavier SLDLs, when I can't hold the bar with a double overhand. I just alternate the grip each set.

My elbow started bothering me big time when I was doing cycles. I've often wondered if the rapid increase in strength was the culprit.

of course it was. your muscles are capable of gaining strength much more quickly than your ligaments and other connective tissues, hence it is a big issue with *users*.
 
ARGHHHH!! I'm a user!!! That sounds so,,, so,,, dirty :cry:
It's ok Katt. Stewart wants to be a user too, and he knows it :roflmao: .

You are right Stewart. From what I accessed, that is usually more associated with long term use, like a few years. The muscles grow much larger, and the tendons and ligaments stay roughly the same size. But my 1 year to 1-1/2 year on and off experimentation may have been enough to do my OLD connective tissue in :).

In all fairness, the forearms are the weakest link in that exercise, and you'd already worked them hard.

Solid workout, Jersey!

You might want to do some static holds. Using a power cage, set the safety bars so that the barbell is mid-thigh or higher, ie. you want as short a ROM as possible. Lift the BB off the safety bars and hold as long as possible.

I used to do this with DB as well. Great exercise.
