Pretty good workout today I guess. My left elbow is really giving me some trouble for whatever reason. I am not sure what the problem is. I really think that its from all of the heavy deadlifting always using my left palm up, and right palm down. Because my right elbow is completely fine. Really was aching today though, especially during the CG bench and pressdowns. Need to be careful. I am taking glucosamine/MSM so hopefully that will help some. We'll see what happens.
Today I was trying to hit a 5RM on CG bench with 285 but unfortunately that didn't work, oh well. Then moved onto 4" lockouts where once again, my strength was down. I wanted to hit 500 for a single---but I couldn't even budge the godd*mn weight. Whatever. Barely got 455. I don't know what happened here today. I think it has something to do with my elbow being all f*cked up. Decided to do some heavy flat DB presses since I wanted to at least throw some heavy weight around since my last 2 exercises sucked. Hit 6 sets of 5 with the 120's. Not bad at all. Good sets. Pressdowns and DB front raises finished up my workout today, both were really good.
Diet:
- MRP + 2% milk + banana
- Gatorade during workout, whey protein postworkout
- ham & cheese sandwich, mixed fruit
- turkey & cheese sandwich
- chicken salad sandwich
- chicken lettuce wraps, salad + Italian dressing, roasted chicken wrap
- peanut butter sandwich
Diet was good today, not that high in calories though. Whatever. Ended up with a pretty good amount of protein today, not too bad at all. Could have used another protein bar or shake here or there.
