P.S must learn to deadlift Member 3457, 700 posts SQ 230, BP 180, DL 235 645.0 kgs @ 148.5kgs UnEq	Recently its 80k standing, but have done 100k seated in the past! Not much difference in my strict and PP as I don't get much leg drive, but the technique is improving! Will wear my elbow sleeves next squat session, didn't think I'd need them as I wasn't going heavy, I did need them!!! Know any tips for ridding onesf of tendonitis? Apart from icing

P.S must learn to deadlift Member 3457, 700 posts SQ 230, BP 180, DL 235 645.0 kgs @ 148.5kgs UnEq	09/05 Bench Warm up stuff 120 x 3 120 x 3 120 x 3 120 x 3 120 x 2 120 x 2 120 x 2 120 x 2 All felt very easy, technique was pretty good, very good bar speed! 140 x 1 failed 2nd rep, 1st was an absolute peanut, lost it on the 2nd 160 x F lost my legs on the descent and nearly lost the bar, got it off the chest and then died, spotter just touched the bar and it went up, will happen soon!!! Incline 70 x 8 x 2 100 x 4 Some tricep stuff! Very happy with the session! A much needed confidence booster after being very down on my lifting lately!

If your prone to get it then it will just reappear every now and then. Try keep them warm when exercising etc. Good amount of volume in here mate just starting powerlifting myself so will be good to keep an eye on how others do it

Since I started the journal I've decided to look at doing some strongman just trying to get stronger at the moment, then some events training.

I've done the reverse gone to powerlifting from strongman I tore the ligaments in my ankle so moving events are a no no The elbow sleeves are pretty good for PBs haha
