Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!

Front Squat: 3x5 135
Press: 3x8 65

Elbow did OK during both exercises today. My tricep tendon has calmed a bit. No clicking, just a few cracks. Was a little sore around the elbow area so I guess the "chin-ups" did something.

Im going to try the following while I'm rehabbing my elbow:
Monday and Friday: Add weight. Eventually just on Friday.
Wednesday: Light day.
Tuesday, Thursday and some Sundays are BJJ.

No observations today as I worked out at home.

Yesterday's workout:

Squat: 3x5 235
Press: 3x10 60
Deadlift: 3,4,5,4,3 225
Curlz: 3x10 40
Conditioning: :20/1:40 x 5 on stationary bike
Weight: 217.6

Was testing the deadlift so the reps/sets were unplanned. Elbow felt OK. Didn't have my straps so I couldn't lift much which is good.

Yesterday's observation: yoga pants.

Modified week due to family obligations. Hope this tides me over till Monday. Elbow was a little clicky today. Started after the high-rep chins on Monday. Doesn't hurt, just annoying. Grrr.

Getting a little more extension every day still :-)

Squat: 2x5 245 / 1x10 245 (why 10? Because fuck 8!)
Press: 3x7 80
Deadlift: 1x5 325
Curlz: 1x15 50 / 1x10 50

Repeated last squat workout. Schedule wasn't working with me this last week. Just rollin' with it.

Knees mostly OK. Squatting after driving home, especially in traffic, is no bueno.

Deads were a little hard on the elbow. It's a great arm straightener though :-)

Curlz hit the elbow in the right spot I think. Good pain, like I'm working through some shit.

Today's observation: Deadlifts in the power rack?!?!?

[thirdstation]

Squat: 3x5 225
Press: 3x5 85

Ordered a copy of Barbell Prescription.

(knees creaky) + (elbow clicky) = me pissy.

Glad I got it done though. BJJ later today.

Ugh. Jammed my left shoulder 2.5 weeks ago. Clumsiness on my part. Don't think anything is torn. Have most of my ROM back. Started rehabbing last week.

Today:
Press: 10 x broomstick / 10 x 15 lb. / 10 x 20 lb. / 10 x 25 lb. / 10 x 30 lb.
Curlz: 10 x 50 lb / 2x10 55 lb.

Shoulder feels better after working out. Will see how squats and deadlifts feel next couple of sessions.

[thirdstation]

Squat: 3x5 225
Press: 10 x broomstick, 15 (bar), 20, 25, 30
Deadlift: 5 x 275 / 1 x 315
Curlz: 3x10 45

Knees felt OK. Still working out some form and flexibility issues. I recorded my last two sets and
can see I'm standing too upright at the top so the bar is behind mid-foot at that point. Then
my knees seem to be moving the entire rep so they are definitely not set at the 1/3 point. Usually
I'm too far forward on the decent so today I tried consciously to sit back more.

Shoulders felt fine for the squat once they stretched out. Deadlifts OK too. I watched
"Eddie Hall, Strongman" on Netflix last night so, I really wanted to deadlift today.

Not a bad way to end 2016. I hoping I can become injury-free and move out of the fucking around phase
in 2017.
