Magnus Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Also, I've been having a rough bout of golf elbow in my left arm for the past few months. I started taking orange triad about 3 weeks ago and it's completely cleared up. Could have just cleared up on its own, but my joints and tendons in general have felt awesome despite going pretty heavy and doing a lot of things that should have aggravated it lately. Just based on that I'd give it a thumbs up. Edited September 1, 2015 by Magnus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Bench: "Light" day 345x6x2 Shoulders in the constantly sore mode already. Starting to remember why this routine sucked so much Dumbbell curls: Palms up 40x8 60x5 65x6 60x8 Barbell hammer curls: 65x8 85x8 95x8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I kept the weight and reps for this day but decided to do Spoto presses instead. I scaled back instead of using my true max so it's pretty easy yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah I'm thinking that even though the weight doesnt seem too heavy yet, it's still gonna be a lot of weight for the amount of volume I'm gonna be doing with it. I just realized that by the time I hit my 6x6 week, I'll be hitting 48 reps with 345 in one week. Looks like it's time to bump the calories up a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 That's what I was looking at when I came up with my working weight. What's "doable" if I push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'll see how I'm feeling by my 6x6 week. Depending on how hard that is, I may switch to 90% of my max from that point on. Deads: WU 505x5 505x3, 8 shrugs between reps 2 and 3 455x4x4 Dumbbell rows: 170x3x6 Eric...props dude Pullups: BWx2x8 Cable pull-overs: Worked up to 140x8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Bench: 345x3x4 Had to stop due to bad pain in my right elbow. Did a multiplicity of dumb things this weekend that contributed to this, so I don't think it's necessarily from lifting. Gonna consider this my 6x2 day and try 6x4 again on Friday.

EricMilfeld Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 At least you had the good sense to stop, which I don't always have. You'll be back stronger than before like the Six Million Dollar Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yeah, gonna give it until Friday before I try to do anything again. Started to pull lighter-weight singles for deads today but by the 7th single I could tell it was acting up again so stopped. Doesn't feel nearly as bad as it did yesterday though.

Deads (today): WU 525x4 465x3x4 Elbow pain slightly better than yesterday Keeping volume and/or weight to a reasonable minimum while trying to not make backwards progress as this heals up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Damn good at this point in the cycle yet. Lots of volume for 80% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Damn good at this point in the cycle yet. Lots of volume for 80% I'm really starting to feel it now. Depending on how my 6x6 week feels, I may knock 5-10lb off of the projected weights for the remaining weeks to make sure it's doable.
