Had to stop the military press as this was hurting my elbow, i done a quick test with the DB's and as long as i use a neutral grip it doesnt hurt it so i'll stick with dumbells for overhead stuff for the next couple of weeks.

I decided against doing pull ups tonight mainly playing it safe to allow my elbow a bit longer to rest.

I kept the weight the same on deadlifts as im trying to make a few technique changes which are taking a few sessions to become natural but hopefully it will pay off in the long run.

My new squat technique is coming along slowly but surely still trying to make sure i dont rush the reps i keep them under control the whole time.

Cardio tomorrow.

@Stephen9069 sounds similar to me, I had habit of dumping it then trying to rebound out the whole. Feels much better now just taking a while to add weight!

Done my cardio and flexibility work tonight.

Im not going to lie after a long day and with the weather the way it is it took a lot for me to drag myself out but i got it done.

Im finding it easier to get my pace now and definitely feel like im slowly getting faster well as fast as someone can be at 19st+ lol.

Pressing with a bar is out for the next couple of weeks both my elbows are in bits at the minute but only with a bar if I use dbs and keep a neutral grip theres no pain.

This week has been a complete disaster the germ factories that are children have managed to infect me with something which has caused me to be ill all week and along with work i didnt have the energy to train.

I suppose one positive its gave my elbows a good rest but theres still a lingering pain, not as bad as it has been but its still there.

Any chance of favour mate?

Next post about workout can you NOT use under line?

Every post about your workout the app is cutting off first line or so and to read it I’ve got to quote and discard

Just so I can let @Simon know what’s causing it, as last time I highlighted this there was no obvious reason.

I was going to ask how tall you were as I couldn't decide if you were massive or if your garage was small lol
