EDIT- no its not  Got pretty f**ked elbows at the moment (did lots of arm wrestling at the pub on hard wood tables while pissed, silly me! ) so im trying to take it easy on them till they are better. Wide grip bench 35kg x 12 45kg x 10 put on elbow sleeves 65kg x 7/7/6 close grip bench press 45kg x 6/6/6. elbows hurt after these. then did some sets on pec deck  i know its gay, but no elbows involved.feeling good about the squats today, getting really low on every rep. gonna make my arms as redundant as possible now untill they feel back to normal again i think. | ||

wales Member 1058, 5361 posts SQ 220, BP 140, DL 294654.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq | Ice them arms for 20mins after exercise and then another 20mins two hours later. This helps a lot I find. I filled sink with cold water and ice cubes and dunked my elbows for 20mins. Hope this helps. | ||
