Deception's 'insert awesome reference here' log.

oh the joys of manletness. I have to 1/4 squat to get the weight of as well its so annoying.

hah yea, I spoke to the gym owner and he going to stick in a platform for me, but in the mean time, I'll just have to use the mats to stand on :D. Hopefully get the movement pattern down fast and get back to lifting normally soon.

Squats - Experiment day!
2nd time doing squats, so wanted to see where my strength was at:
50x10
60x10
80x5
100x5
105x5
110x5
120x5 - Had to stop here I was in agony with my elbows. Sharp pains shooting up/down both arms. Could barely lift them afterwards!

Leg Press
120x15
200x10
230x12 x3

Horizontal Leg Press
79x20
97x15 x2
109x12

would have been nice to do some more squats, but I just couldn't get my arms on the bar. Will probably throw BSS back in next week too as I do miss the DOMS from them :D. Legs didn't feel any fatigue at all, just the odd knee collapse, but hopefully will sort that.
 
I fubared them on the bicep curl machine, its like it stretches the tissue around my elbow and they hurt for like a week when I put Stress on them. I've done it in the past, so should have known better :(
 
Nearly a week off due to holiday and elbow AIDS, so tried to fit in as much as I could before work:

Bench
50x10
70x10
90x5 – Starting to feel pressure on elbows again.
100x1 – Nope! Pain down both arms.

Paused
90x5 x4 – Seems to be sweet spot that I don’t get any pain, so adding in paused for dem extra feels.

CGBP
70x10
70x8 x2

HB Squat
70x5
90x5
100x5
110x5 – A bit of butt wink, but didn’t feel bad.

LB Squat
110x5 – Doing HB before this has helped with my elbow pain o.O
120x5 x3

Felt some tightness everywhere, but that’s expected as it literally went 5am – Wake, 5:30 – Craze kicks in!
 
A bit of a 'form' day with Paul today, so didn't get up to too much on Deadlifts (basically lifted same as him).
