Damn Para, you hurt your back and began to do SLDL's? Maybe it just just a tweak, ice it and rest it, and icy hot, and see how it feels

 

[Parabellum]

I'm hoping it will be ok by Sunday, dead day. I'm going to start taking warm up more seriously and just be carefull with my form.
It seems to be getting better. My elbows act up at varuious times during the day sending shudders through me.

 

[BigWh1tey]

your numbers are looking good. Sorry to hear about the back thing. I avoid the anti-inflamatories until bedtime.

Rex, icy hot doesn't help much. Heat makes it worse. I'm going to ice it and strecth.

Thanks BigW, it will heal. It doesn't affect my benching

I hit the sports authority today and got a bunch of goodies, some wrist warps, elbow sleeves, and a back belt that you can slip a gel hot /cold pack into.

Just a minor setback.

What was your chest plate meausremnt on your karins shirt, BIgW.?

I used elbow sleeves today; they did not alleviate the pain but made it more bearable. Forearms stopped bothering me.

Nice job. I've been following your bench training. I'm training very similarly and I'm looking forward to adding a bench shirt. Again, good stuff.
