    Thursday 11 February
    Cycle 2
    Week 4, Day 3

    Bodyweight: 95.7 kg

    Deadlift
    ℞ 1 @ 8, 1 @ 9, 4 @ 9, 4-6% fatigue
    Belt
    160 kg: 1 X 4 @ 7
    182.5 kg: 1 X 1 @ 8
    190 kg: 1 X 1 @ 9
    170 kg: 1 X 4 @ 9
    162.5 kg: 1 X 4 @ 8.5 [4% drop]
    Totals: 14 reps, 2,345 kg

    Lower back and hips were aching during warm ups, but I took things slowly and and all the heavy work moved OK. By the programming I should have taken another down set, but after irritating my back yesterday and with my still reasonably high overall levels of fatigue I didn't push things.

    Close-Grip Floor Press
    ℞ 6 @ 7, 6 @ 8, 6 @ 9, 6-9% fatigue

    Elbow hurt at both 20 kg and 50 kg so I aborted in favour of...

    Floor Press
    Wrist wraps
    85 kg: 1 X 6 @ 6.5
    90 kg: 1 X 6 @ 7.5
    92.5 kg: 1 X 6 @ 8.5
    93.75 kg: 1 X 6 @ 9
    87.5 kg: 2 X 6 @ 8, 8.5 [7% drop]
    Totals: 36 reps, 3,220 kg

    All fine, but my elbow did get progressively more sore, which is a bit of a worry. Voodoo band, then ice & ibuprofen after the session.

    Do you have tennis elbow, golfers elbow and just soft tissue soreness

    I started to wear elbow sleeves by Mark Green. I got away from them and my elbows starts to get sore. I started wearing them again. Also, at the end of my workout, I take a Lacrosse ball, out it on a bench and press my tricep into the ball and roll all the way down to the elbow. Talk about sore. holy shit.

    At various times I've had both tennis elbow and golfers' elbow in both my left and right arms. The most persistent and problematic issue is golfers' elbow on the left side. I definitely have that at the moment and it's also going into the forearm a bit as well.

    I have SBD elbow sleeves which I almost always wear for squats, and sometimes wear for bench (not today). They do help, but since they're not competition legal I try not to wear them 100% of the time. More massage is a good idea.

    I have one (green). I used it every day for a month last summer and it didn't seem to help much. Which colour do you have?

    Saturday 13 February
    Cycle 2
    Week 4, Day 4

    Bodyweight: ~96 kg

    Training at a PL club rather than my usual gym for a change.

    TnG Bench
    ℞ 1 @ 8, 3 @ 9, 6-9% fatigue
    Wrist wraps
    100 kg: 1 X 3 @ 7
    112.5 kg: 1 X 1 @ 7
    107.5 kg: 1 X 3 @ 8 [PR]
    105 kg: 1 X 3 @ 8
    100 kg: 4 X 3 @ 7, 7, 7.5, 8 [-7%]
    Totals: 22 reps, 2,035 kg

    Everything was surprisingly easy. I'm sure it wasn't an issue with the plates and bar since it was all nice Eleiko stuff . Having a bench with a decent width probably helped me quite a bit. Elbow sore again, as is my biceps.

    2ct Squat
    ℞ 1 @ 8, 3 @ 9, 6-9% fatigue
    SBD sleeves, wrist wraps
    120 kg: 1 X 3 @ 7
    130 kg: 1 X 1 @ 7
    130 kg: 1 X 3 @ 8.5
    120 kg: 1 X 3 @ 8 [-8%]
    Totals: 10 reps, 1,240 kg

    Lower-right back felt tight and knotted from where I tweaked it on Wednesday. Didn't do much volume here, but what I did felt solid. Having not done this movment for a while the top single and reps ended up being the heaviest I've ever pause squatted.

    2ct Deadlift
    ℞ 1 @ 8, 3 @ 9, 6-9% fatigue
    Straps
    100 kg: 1 X 3 @ 7
    120 kg: 1 X 3 @ 8
    140 kg: 1 X 1 @ 8.5
    125 kg: 1 X 3 @ 8.5
    115 kg: 2 X 3 @ 7.5, 8
    Totals: 16 reps, 1,865 kg

    I haven't done this in a long time. 140 kg is the heaviest I've done for a pause DL, but the rep work wasn't a PR. My back was really tired by this point and was especially uncomfortable when trying to unload the bar.

    green. Its difficult to quantify if any single thing contributed more than another since I was throwing everything at the tendonitis. When I was doing PT, they had me using the band, so I bought it.
