Slow Weak and Stupid

It's better, I still intend to get some sleeves and I ordered the voodoo floss as recommended for my elbows. Training gets closer to maxes next week so I'll need them.

Awesome, I hope they work well for ya.

Sucks getting old don't it! I feel for you guys - warriors of pain. Pain injury sort of just a fact if life. Yet we make it to gym we train hard and deal . Nothing takes us down / not even our own pain . We learn to train smArter and never give up or give in . That is what defines a warrior . Everybody on this thread all members of tid are warriors . Carry on and never let anyone tell you any different

At least you're getting in the work.

Squat 210x2 215x1 220x1 155 x 5 x5. I wasn't happy with depth on 215. I need to figure out how to video it so I can see where I'm at.

yeah, with some video, maybe all you need are some minor corrections to form or set-up might help you better feel hitting the depth you want.

Terrible day, could not pull for shit. Dead was set to be 265 then 270 and 275. Got nothing.
dead from 3 plates, 195x3 for 5 sets
ohp 130x 3 5 sets

got a new lever belt, but it won't stay closed, so I have to figure it out.

1st thing. Voodoo floss arrived yesterday and I tried it out this morning. Immediate difference in forearms, but not so much in elbows. Even so, I was able to do some pull ups in sets of three.
i also figured out how to video my squat. I noticed right away that I am hunching my upper back. I need to get my chest up. As far as depth, I am at least parallel, I'll need to try another angle.

squat 170 7 sets of 3
bench was supposed to be 265,270,275 but by the time I worked up to 265, my elbow and right shoulder, biceps tendon? Were done.

Try using the floss on the upper arm and capture some of the delt in it. Get it on good and tight and do some pushups and then stretch the bicep and tricep. Work quick cause the hand will go numb fast.
