    I start freaking out that I've been in the gym too long at 1.5hrs. I can't imagine doubling that...
    You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

    I'm good to go, did D1 today and felt great. Lost a tiny bit of strength on my chest but it's to be expected. I'll regain it in no time.

    RC is good now, seems to be healed up. I'm still going to do all my RC work after D2's as it helped significantly.

    How about you? Are your joint pains better/gone?
    Glad to hear it's good to go, man. I started doing this stretch, similar to a DB pullover, only with a light bar..stretching all the way behind, it feels really good for the shoulders and somehow I thought of you lol. My elbow is still bothering me, but everything else is ready to go. We'll see how it goes.

    I find after a certain point, it doesn't really matter..1h, 2h, whatever, it all blends in.

    i put the heat pad on my elbow for around 20 minutes yesterday and it actually made a huge difference

    i'm going to keep doing that after D1, do you have any elbow sleeves? I use one for some sets when I bench.

    I have 3 types of sleeves/braces lol. I try not to wear them unless I absolutely have to because my forearm got smaller after so many months of use. The head pad is alright, I use it mostly on my leg..and I swear it always feels worse the next day. I stopped trying to get on top of my injury, nothing really does it anymore.

    Day 166: Jan 29, 2013 – D3 / 30 reps

    Back squats
    [135] x 10 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 4 - 33 reps

    RDL's
    [165] x 12 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 - 33 reps

    Front squats
    [115] x 10 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 - 35 reps

    Good mornings
    [115] x 10 x 5 x 5 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 3 - 35 reps
    * what an awkward exercise

    Leg curls
    [50] x 12 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 - 32 reps

    GHR's
    7 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 3 x 3 - 30 reps

    BB glute bridges
    [225] x 12 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 - 34 reps

    Workout time: 1h30

    First time working legs after about a month off, so depressing. I could feel my groin from the moment I started warming up with the bar. I kept the weights low, I want to work my way slowly to my usual weights.

    The back squats felt off, I noticed the bar sits differently on my back now because my traps have gotten bigger..it's a bit weird. I also tend to hold my arms unevenly, with one elbow sitting slightly lower than the other, so I was focusing on fixing that. Front squats felt like home.

    I wish mine did too, but the abs bench is pretty good. As long as you can find something solid to hold your feet, you'd be okay. Check youtube, there are a lot of ghetto versions out there, people can be quite inventive lol.

    There's a thread in the O35 forum about these. Most seem to be using the lat pulldown seat.

    I didn't log yesterday's workout because I was so spent by the time I got home. Today, I woke up with a sore throat. After a dentist appointment and some hardcore freezing, by the time I finished work I had a slight fever and a runny nose. I decided to go to the gym despite feeling like I got hit by a Mack truck, just because I already had all my gym stuff with me. I made it there only to discover in the locker room I forgot my workout pants. One of those days...

    I haven't had a common cold in years, I don't get then anymore.. this just shows how run down my body is right now. I'm spreading myself thin. Starting this week, I'll be working Sundays as well. Being sick is a luxury I can't afford.

    I'll see how I feel in the next days. For now it's popping pills, sitting under a blanket and eating chicken soup. F*ck.

    what tricep exercises are you doing, also are you doing any extra exersices such as shoulder press, ect? because if you are having issues with a certain exersice you need to rotate to a new exercise working the same muscle group until it agrees with your elbow issues, kelei is very knowledgable about switching exercises arround due to minor injuries, ask him.

    The exercises that cause direct pain should be the first to go. However, after a while, everything will cause pain. It's the frequency and workload that do it, and that makes this routine unsustainable long term for people who have these issues. I've gotten golfer's elbow about a month in (for the first time ever, I've never had tendonitis before this), and it has yet to heal. I've adjusted all the exercises that I do to make it easier on it, and it still hurts. There's more to it than "oh, just change exercises".

    Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Anything that requires a strong grip causes aggravation (chins, pull ups, rows, RDL's, etc.). I've been through this before and the only real thing that's going to help is rest. And, it's a long rest to heal it.
    You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

    I know it may sound stupid, but try using straps when doing those exercises, it helps me, yes it may look stupid, but it takes the pressure off the joint and your grip, and more focuses on the muscle group you are trying to work.

    ##No, I dont use straps for these exercises, unless I feel unwanted pain in my joints , so dont make fun haha

    Nah, I had a run a couple of years ago with this elbow tendonitis, then threw out my back squatting. When I put that was at that time. Felt like I would never heal. Recently, since running this program all of the little dings are showing up again.

    After 2 days in bed doing absolutely nothing, and 3 days off from the gym, I decided to hit the gym today before losing my marbles. I had to work in the morning, so I went right after. I'm feeling a bit better, although definitely not 100%. My strength was pretty good, solid workout.

    I called in sick tomorrow at my second job because I don't feel up for all the waiting around in the cold and I don't want to get my students sick, so I might hit D3 instead. My boss wasn't too pleased, which is funny since I have never missed one day in 2 years, so I really don't want to hear it.


    Tonight's dinner, didn't eat much during the day: homemade chicken soup, pork tenderloin with pickles and honey mustard, steel cut oats with raisins, walnuts, apple and cinnamon cooked on the stove and cooked hard wheat with whole milk:

    The volume knob on your rear delts goes up to 11.

    If he gives you any more grief you should threaten to crunch his nuts between your shoulder blades when you are rowing.

    I don't get it...

    I do them on the same small incline as DB bench press because I don't like the DB touching the ground at the bottom. But that's not what you're talking about, now is it?

    If he gives you any more grief you should threaten to crunch his nuts between your shoulder blades when you are rowing.
    I can't think of any possible scenario that would involve his nuts on my back to begin with lol. No, please don't tell me. Let me keep my innocence.

    Nice job with everything! I like the new setup - volume is still super high. Feel better soon and enjoy the day off. Your food looks good - looks like you cook a lot.

    And students? what do you teach?
