OcUK Health Seekers: Post your progress pics

[mrthingyx]

I have a very basic question probably. When I'm working out my biceps, the following day the tendons for my bicep near the elbow joint hurt, instead of the bicep itself.

What am I doing wrong?

Lifting too heavy or badly. Or too much.

Do chin-ups instead.

Juicy. Very nice keeping so lean, too.

Did some farmers walks today:

Felt good. A bit wobbly on the 1st leg but overall can't complain.

This was after a lot of deadlifts and HC2PP (mrthingyx will be pleased about this! ).

Nice work the pair of you. Gives me motivation to keep going.

Awesome work Slade, Abs of peace.

I've been trying to bulk for 5 months, gained 10lbs, starting to cut this week hopefully get even more shredded for the summer.

That's what I look like carrying the food shopping.

And this is why a little part of me is envious of your missus... Wait, what?

Srshomo.

With the amount I eat - I know the feeling!

Tapered up to 100kg HC2PP - felt quick and powerful despite my crap shoulder.

I will be doing more of those.

Lovely.

I really do miss Clean -> PP and so always abuse the work gym when I get in there (will be training today, but will probably do some heavy snatch).

Push-press is so much more punishing than strict - my whole upper back gets hammered from the stability component, rather than just the delts/tris lifting and traps stabilising...

 

[Freefaller]

I've come to the realisation that owing to my shoulder PP is just much better suited for me as well as less painful. Besides it means bigger numbers!

That tricep love...

I may have to try it then!

Push press is gooood! Adds a nice bit of explosiveness to your training as well.

How bad an idea is DB push press? Given that I don't have access to a barbell...

It's fine, it's quite a common event in strongmen competitions. Get a decent weight up on your shoulder and fire it up one side at a time.

Cheers. I'll have a play with it as something to do after I finish my regular db ohp

What am I doing wrong?

Is this with ALL biceps exercises or maybe just barbell curls?
Does it happen if you do dumbbell curls?

It's excellent.

I also do DB snatches which are hard but well worth doing too.
