| I've heard that these can be a bit of a divisive issue in the strength community! What are your opinions? I've been told that this style would suit me better as I have a long torso and shortish legs. | |||
| » Diagnose my elbow/arm pain? (Go to post) | 02-11-2011 @ 12:41 | ||
hrat said: it hurts anywhere from elbow to shoulder and my middle finger gets pins and needles. Sounds like a trapped nerve in your neck combined with tendonitis. I get this off and on. A Chiropractor should be able to free the nerve. Go to a decent one with a good rep. Re. tendonitis, rest/going lighter unfortunately. | |||

| Deadlift 75kgx5 85kgx5 100kgx5 140x1 easy 150kgx1 hard (PB) 160x1 stayed on the floor. I'm disappointed in this. Only a 5kg improvement. I suppose it should be no surprise as I've been messing around lately instead of sticking to a programme. | |||

It worked for me for the same problem. It still comes back now and again but its an easy fix every time. | |||

| Squat today. Really short session this morning late for work etc. Squat Warmups then 115kg 3x5. As with last week I felt like I had more in the tank. Starting Madcow on Monday. It seems to be a bit less bodybuilderish and heavy sets are used sparingly which should prevent any burnout. | |||

| Bench 82.5kg 2x5 3x3 I thought it was just tiredness last week but alas no I'm just weak. Getting frustrated with this. Ive been at it over 6 months and I thought I'd be repping with 100kg by now. I think a 5kg reset is in order. Rows 72.5kg 5x5 Close grip bench 57.5 3x5 Had to cut it short today due to time constraints. I might stick with abbreviated sessions for a while. | |||

| I wouldn't squat heavy on deadlift day. Nice and light, more as a technique reinforcement than anything. | |||

| Deadlifts today. Deadlift 2x5 125kg 1x3 125kg left hand grip let me down on the last set. Stuck for now. Light squats 85kg 3x10 chins 3xfailure SLDL with 35kg dumbells(all the barbells were in use) 3x10. I'm starting to notice a pattern here. If the gym is busy, my lifting is s**t. | |||

martinb said: never got an after xray, when I stopped going I was on a "maintenance" schedule, going once a month The guy I went to told me that if he couldn't fix me after 2 sessions, he wouldn't be to help at all. | |||
