Weight: I forgot to weigh :/
Press 140x4,3,3,3,2 I took 200mg of Vitamin I after my last warmup. My elbow is shot from climbing and heavy pressing.
Decided not to clean because of it. Light squats tomorrow, deadlift on Wednesday and I'm back to my normal schedule.

Weight 216
Light squat:295x5x2 Silly schedule
11/16/22 Wednesday
Bench: 210x5,4 200x4 My elbow is shot. I feel like this was a psychological issue.
Deadlift 385x5 Felt good. I feel like the feedback from Rip was beneficial. Really focused on pushing through the feet today. Got it done in no time too Deadlift 11/16/22 - YouTube
Chins 3,4 Waited too little between DL and these. They really make my elbow hurt too; it was eh after the bench but these put it over the line. I have a really hard time getting the assistance work up, by the time I get here I'm so damn tired it's hard to motivate.

Weight 218
Squat 355x4 Im not sure why I failed this. It was halfway outta the hole when it stopped moving. 330x5x2 My tendonitis is getting out of hand. I know its the squat thats doing it too. My right wrist falls back on the heaviest attempts and load my whole arm. I have to buy more weight, the bumpers I have wont fit on the bar after I succeed with 355. It would force me to take a 10 lb jump on the squat, like I did with the DL, and I'm not sure I could pull that off.

Light Squat 280x5x2 I read Elbow Tendonitis: How It Occurs and What to Do About It | Jordan Burnett and Preventing Elbow Pain in the Squat | Nick Delgadillo and my elbow felt better after these than it has in weeks.
Bench 212.5x4, 202.5x5, called it. Elbow was getting a little worse and fixing it is priority 1 right now.
Deadlift 390x4 I was past my knees when it stopped. I got forward on all by the very first rep.
I emailed Adam Fangman to setup a form check. I've been training almost 2 years and I've been coached twice. I can see some form issues that I can't seem to correct on my own in each of my lifts and I have a myriad of programming questions I'd like answered. I know the holidays are here but I'm hoping he can get me in before Christmas.

Squat 355x4, 330x5x2 Failed again. I'm getting better at keeping the weight off my arms though. My elbow isn't feeling as bad as it has been.
Press 145x3,2,2,2,2,2,2 This is not good. My lay-back is excessive, I'm losing balance, and I can't get under the bar.
Adam is going to get back to me about potential days for a 1 on 1. I havent been coached in 10 months so I'm very excited.

Weight: 216 I've been reducing my caloric and carb intake. Im afraid that choice is at least partially responsible for the heinous workout listed below
Squat 355x1 This just crushed me Didn't even try the back offs
Bench 212.5x3, 202.5x5x2 MY form is terrible on this. It's decayed pretty aggressively
Chins 6,5,4
I'm going to see Adam on thursday and we're gonna go over each of the major lifts and some programming

sounds like you could use a back-off week or two also, as there seem to be some consistent pains creeping in, which, admittedly, getting the form dialed back in may certainly help.

Thank you sir. We basically deloaded and worked on technique. He's a great coach and I really enjoyed the session. I didn't realize how beat down I was. Taking some weight off has done miracles for me. I'm not a fraction as irritable or exhausted as I was two weeks ago and my elbow is feeling leagues better already. I'm much more confident in what I need to be working on now. I've also chosen a sport and I'm going to be figuring out how to balance barbell training with trying to improve my performance.
