My wife and I went to Chattanooga, Tennessee for the weekend. On Sunday we visited Ruby Falls which is the tallest underground water fall in the states, rode the incline rail, did some climbing on a climbing wall, rode a zip line, and walked the trails at Rock City on top of Lookout Mountain. We got back home on Monday and I was really tired going into this workout. Was supposed to do some hack squats but just didn’t have anything left in the tank.

I’ve developed some tendinitis in both of my elbows lately. Climbing the rock wall last weekend has exasperated it. My left elbow is worse than the right one. I haven’t been taking any anti inflammatory drugs lately, but guess I’ll have to start back taking them again.

Looking over your thread and just coming off a shoulder surgery myself this is good to hear. It keeps me positive to see others doing well after going under the knife. Thanks!

Some advice on those elbow issues you starting with. Voodoo bands! If you need details, PM me. Trust me, been down that road.

Thanks man, I’m glad you mentioned Voodoo bands. I own two pairs of voodoo floss bands. One pair I made out of a bicycle inner tube many years ago. The second pair I purchased about 5 years ago. For anyone who hasn’t heard about voodoo flossing please look it up on YouTube, there are a lot of videos explaining what it is and how to do it.

This is the 2nd squat session since I had the squatting incident were I thought I tore a muscle in my leg. I’m still very nervous about getting under the bar and doing squats. On the upside, I’m not having any issues with my shoulders while doing squats, and that is while using a close narrow grip with elbows pushed forward under the bar. Before my shoulder surgeries I could not hold the bar like that while squatting and had to use a very wide grip back then.

Felt good working out this evening. My wife’s mom is visiting with us this week and we all went out and ate Sushi for lunch. I love Sushi and ate a lot for lunch which helped fuel this workout. I felt the tendinitis in my elbows a little during the back work but after that it didn’t really bother me for the rest of the workout.

My wife’s Uncle passed away this weekend so we went down to South Georgia for the funeral which was held Tuesday morning. While down there I worked out Monday at a gym down there. This gym used to be a good gym with a number of Hammer Strength machines as well as Bodymaster, a Nebula leg press, and some Cybex. That has all changed as they’ve replaced all of these with new Matrix brand machines which I absolutely hate. Thankfully they replaced the full power rack they had with a half rack so I was able to do some squats for legs.
