stephen9069 | Very Poor Training Session Today | 24-07-2012 @ 18:25 | |
Frequents the HOUSE of GAIN. Member 3836, 4233 posts SQ 225, BP 200, DL 300725.0 kgs @ 119kgs UnEq | Had a very poor training session today my elbow hasnt healed enough to over head press any kind of weight without it causing severe pain, this is what i managed today: TUESDAY - SHOULDERS - 24/07/2012 MACHINE SHOULDER PRESS - Fail (Cant press without being to painful) SEATED MACHINE SHOULDER PRESS - 5 X 6: 30kg, 30kg, 30kg, 30kg, 30kg. SIDE RAISES - 3 X 12: 10kg, 10kg, 10kg. FRONT RAISES - 3 X 12: 10kg, 10kg, 10kg. UPRIGHT ROWS - 3 X 12: 40kg, 40kg, 40kg. After this point morale was to low and the pain was to much. Im going to re-evaluate my routine and change it round so i can keep training im going to lower the weight and make the reps a lot higher and keep the leg training heavy until my elbow is a lot better. | ||

Frequents the HOUSE of GAIN. Member 3836, 4233 posts SQ 225, BP 200, DL 300725.0 kgs @ 119kgs UnEq | Think iv finally had to admit defeat and realise i need a bit more time to recover, couldnt even make it through the first rep let alone the first set so going to take the rest of this week off to recover and see how things feel Monday. Fingers crossed any swelling and pain has gone down by then. | ||
