Deception's 'insert awesome reference here' log.

Do it at home in front of the tv - it's often tightness in the tendons that get aggravated by repeated movement as the tendons "hook" onto muscle fibres and other bits of flesh within the tendon canal. That impinges on movement, causing inflammation, which in turn leads to pain, which leads to compensation on form, which doesn't help as you're still using the tendon anyway.

Great, thanks a lot FF

Dem elbows

Yea, they're getting annoying. Have some good session and get back track strength wise and then they come back and have to lower weight while they heal again Maybe I should stick to exercises that don't rely on bending my arms.. Deadlifts all week then?

 

[Deception]

Given your prodigious shoulder strength, have you checked your shoulder mobility?

Would better internal shoulder rotation help with taking the stress off your elbows in this context?

Not being a low bar boss I'm not completely sure as to the biomechanics of the elbows during low bar, but I'd guess internal shoulder rotation might actually be helpful...

I probably need to do some shoulder mobility as I know on Low Bar, I cannot get my arms pinned back far enough (used to be able to before), so my wrists are bent (if you look at the vid I sent you on FB). That is probably putting some unneeded stress on my elbows too. Probably explains why High Bar doesn't really hurt my elbows, I just have tight ankles

Also due to my manlet status, I have to tip toe to get the bar off the rack, which made the bar roll down because I caught the catcher as I unracked and set my elbows off in the first place It was just downhill from there.

 

[Deception]

Serves you right for having such an unfair stature:strength ratio.

On the rack I was using last night, I had to put 3 tile mats in the rack, just to be able to lift the bar off without tip toeing!

but yea, I need to get some shoulder mobility under the way, better get a list together! Thou shall call me Delvis!

 

[Deception]

Well.. Deadlift and OHP tomorrow, lets see what I can break this time

 

[Deception]

I'm sure I've said this, that's exactly what's going on.

Yep, thats where I know it from. It seems to come and go, ill have some good weeks and then it will come back. I'm still keeping up the mobility too. Probably throw some dislocations back in now, as long as it doesnt try to dislocate my shoulder again

 

[Deception]

I never understood why people would only want to train half of their legs...

Is this why no one has any calves around here?

 

[Deception]

Come say that to my quads

But yes, high bar all day unless you like showing off. Which I do...

Will be doing this next week.. High bar that is

I sense much walking like a cowboy in your immediate future...

Nice work.

Oh yes, I got a bit carried away and the paused ones just 'clicked'. Just gotta keep at the upper mobility for wrists

More elbow pain today, but it was my weaker side (left) and this time it was when weight was being put on it directly (at the top of bench and top of dips), although it hurt most on the first rep after the unrack, so probably a fault there somewhere. Never a dull moment

Was hoping to try pin press instead of paused today, but power rack was taken, so paused it was!

 

[Deception]

Yea, getting used to it now. Gotta push my nephew, can't let him slack

 

[Deception]

He says.... LoL

You just enjoy your pressing tomorrow phaggot

Wanted to do some BSS but all the benches were stolen (bench and shoulder day?), will throw them in next week. Pretty pleased with my paused squats in terms of form, just mobility still to go.

Got my nephew to do some paused after his main sets, so he won't be thanking me when he wakes up tomorrow
