Jonathan McMillan Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 elbows are trashed post GGC2007, man it was a blast getting to do a dieselcrew comp again!!! It was great meeting everyone. Should have gotten 190 in the pinch and 300 in the v-bar but just not strong enough that day to get them in contest form. Still I'm happy as I know I can lift these now. I'm really happy with my pinch as I had put that drill through my right hand a couple weeks back and didn't think I could pinch anything. I won't be doing any grip training this week. Gonna stretch and ice, I normally have the tennis elbow flare up but this is the other side of the arm...golfer's elbow? Will Do rehab stuff next week then ease back into it the following week. I'm also gonna wear elbow sleeves for my barbell work this week.

odin Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi Jonathan, I'm rehabbing tennis elbow myself and noticed that stretching a lot seems to be the key. As soon as I forget to stretch, it gets stiff. Very frustrating injury, mine didn't start getting better until I re-injured it (must have broke up old scar tissue and stimulated healing). Nice pinching; competing in the GGC must have been a rush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan McMillan Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 Odin, nice to see you on the GB again!!!! Yep, mine own damn fault for not doing enough prehab stuff. Weird getting hit with the other tendons vs. the tennis elbow which I dealt with after the last GGC I went to. I found icing and stretching was the only thing that helped it (that and backing off of the grippers for a few months) Tonight I didn't wear the elbow sleeves for my BB work and the elbows complained a bit, still I am planning to ease back into the grip training pool next week.
