My 5 minute rant about my elbow issue.
So I had an appointment with Ortho to have my elbows looked at.
THURSDAY
Today our squad hit bench press against bands. They performed 10x3. After that they hit some rep work with single arm rows, rolling tricep extensions, BB curls with pauses then called it a day. I hit some light cable curls, and calves. Kinda boring but does the trick. Just trying to wake my muscles back […]

Dr. Jeff “The Stork” Sevor is doing a great job of maximizing his leverages with a wider stance and is looking good to hit a big PR. Neal Cotton hit a solid 920 with reverse mini bands and is looking good to hit a grand in the near future. My hamstring held up well so things are at least moving
TUESDAY
Today our lifters hit deads off the floor against bands. After that they hit rev-hypers, split lunges, then heavy ab work. Great to hear from some of the crew that they are doing more weight than they did at the last meet for reps. Look forward to seeing everyone back on the platform soon. My […]
MONDAY
