Deception's 'insert awesome reference here' log.

strong PB especially considering the build up mate. 210-215 fresh?

Yea, my nephew was doing Dealifts, so I stuck to what he was doing and then carried on after he stopped. I did have a go at 205, but no way it was budging! 200 didnt budge on the first try either, so no Idea how I got it off the floor on the 2nd try :eek:

X-Band walks when I got home :D

Was getting some knee collapse and energy was sapped on squats, so didn't get to do as much as I wanted. I may add in some paused as I was a bit ropey getting out the hole too.

Seem to get good adductor recruitment on the Horizontal Leg Press, so hopefully it will help in the long run.. Unfortunately no quad work today :(
 
Dat dere paused day!

Don't know what was going through my head when I thought doing some paused work would be fun..

Looks like I may have to take OHP off the books for the time being; Since I hurt it a few weeks ago, I can't pick the weight off the catchers without getting a pain in my spine itself :( Will try and do some seated stuff for the time being as not to neglect them.
 
Well thought I might as well start logging again! Changed routine around so I get to alternate squatting and deadlifting twice a week as I really want to focus on getting their numbers up. So, to start it off:

60x10 - Nope, made elbows worse!

Nerve and elbow pain made this session shocking, hopefully elbows are ok today for Squats!
 
Get a hockey/lacrosse ball, and roll your forearms to death. I have the same issue, and this solution, whilst painful, really helps to relieve the pressure in the forearms and around the elbow.

Great, will give that a go before squats tonight, otherwise I won't even be able to get arms in position without getting some nice pain :o.. Ball and rumble roller torture tonight then!
 
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.
