Friday, 3/2/12 - Elbows Fucked Edition
I did something on Monday with my elbow position during low bar squats that niggled all week, but flared up today while squatting - only in low bar position. Feels like tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis or however it's spelled). It also f'd up my presses, which really pisses me off. Oh well, I have to be smarter going forward.
Foam roll/smr/etc
Squat
45x5, 135x5, 185x3, 225x2, 260x1, 295x1
340x5x3 - got em all, but holy hell did elbows hurt! I probably shouldn't have continued through all 3 sets.
Press
45x10, 95x5, 115x3, 140x2, 165x1
195x4 - supposed to be a 5RM of 195x5 but didn't get #5. I think the elbow shit effected my pressing big time. I am NOT happy about this. I figured 195 would be a cinch after 192.5 x 5,5,4 for 2 consecutive workouts. Damn. Hard to tell, really, if it was the elbow stuff or if I really needed a re-set when transitioning to TM presses.
Pullups
10,10,8. Interestingly these didn't exacerbate the elbow stuff.
Did a few more sets of doubles or triples in the front squat (135/155) and high bar squat (185) just to see of that bothered the elbows. It didn't. So looks like I'll be front and high bar squatting for a while while my elbows unfuck themselves.
Skipped sprints because I was in a bad mood. Only did them on Monday, so will need to do them tomorrow.
