What do you think the sore elbows are from?

What do you think the sore elbows are from?

dunno. it's not soreness, it's more of an ache during/after squatting. goes away pretty quickly after i'm done. my two best guesses:

1. i'm not elevating my elbows enough when i get under the bar, so they're supporting too much weight.
2. this is just one of those random things that pops up in my body from time to time, lasts a while, then goes away.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings a tiny bit
ACHES/INJURIES: right calf (?)
FATIGUE: moderate

- jump rope x 20 minutes
added in some light stretching and mobility

- S1: dip x 20,15,15
- S1: inverted row x 20,20,10
- S1: ~30s between rounds.

- some core shit

- lacrosse ball work on elbows and shoulders

- stretch

talking with some friends at the gym, i might have a third hypothesis for the elbow thing: i've been using rings for the inverted rows and that makes my grip really narrow. gonna switch back to bar inverted rows and have my hands farther apart. i also have pretty tight pecs and bad internal rotation of the shoulders, especially on the right side. will add some chin up holds to stretch that whole system out.

gym was closed this weekend so no workout. it occurred to me today that i could see if it's possible for me to continue using the basketball court even after the gym is closed. they're not ripping up the court, the old man game that's been going on since 1979 is continuing because they have a separate agreement with the church that owns the building. need to find out who to talk to in the church. that would be ideal: continue working out at same gym with mostly same people, but have court for jump. it'd necessitate a revision to my schedule but that would be worth it to continue to have court access.

fingers crossed.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right elbow a tiny bit during squatting, not as bad as before
FATIGUE: low

- warm up

- DLRVJ x 8
meh, pretty bad, mostly around 31.5, a couple higher a couple lower.

- ME MR half tuck 5 x 5

- ME pogo 3 x 5
mixed in shoulder internal rotation work between sets of these and the half tucks. lacrosse ball to pec, targeting stretching, 1st rib stuff.

- squat 310 x 3,3,3 | 285 x 8,6 | 275 x 4
i have no wind. legs were fine but i couldn't keep form because i got out of breath.  :-[ on the plus side, the 310 sets were the strongest i've felt on squat in a good while. fast and smooth.

- OHP 95 x 8,8

- pull up x 8,8

- some leg raises and glute bridges

- stretch

ETA: nutrition intake yesterday.
P    168   
C    208
F    109
cal  3,184

too low on the protein, too high on the fact. also, not enough veggies. but not terribly far off.

walked about 5.5 miles total yesterday, plus a good amount of milling around, some jumping and skipping, and some light tree climbing to get this shot in front of the white house:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings, glutes, calves a bit
ACHES/INJURIES: squat elbows back, esp on right, tweaked right toe badly during jumps
FATIGUE: high

- warm up

- 3-on-3 basketball, 2 games to 21 by 2's and 3's
i'm out of shape, got winded during both games. it was fun, though.

- more warm up stuff
mostly to rest legs post-bball.

- depth jump x 4,1
good height although a bit all over the place. no warm up like a competitive warm up. tweaked toe on first jump of second set and that was it. it's still bothering me.

- ME MR half tuck 5 x 5

- ME pogo 3 x 5

toe said no, did not want to push the issue.

- SS1: squat MSEM 4 x 320
- SS1: jump squat 2 x 3 x 90
- SS1 info: two rounds. squat was strong but elbow problem is back. need to keep working on shoulder IR. toe was okay on JS because of stiff soles/consciously avoiding it.

- stretch

gym was closing in 20 minutes and i wanted to stretch more than i wanted to OHP or do pull ups. kind of a meh work out but i'm pleased with the squats. on the reps where i concentrated extra hard on the amortization they were really good.

nutrition today:

P   219
C   330
F   103
cal 3121

going to ann arbor for a little mini college reunion this weekend so i'll be active but won't get in a formal work out. might play some basketball or squash, might do some mild lifting but probably not. back in the gym for real on monday. i'm actually not that upset about it, it will probably be good for my elbows to get a forced break from squatting while i work on shoulders.

I like the effort you put into the white house shot. Were you alone in the tree?

Being from about as far away from DC as possible while still living in the continental US, I have got to think there was some serious energy in the air that night.

yeah i was alone up there but there were people in most of the trees on the south side of lafayette park. the energy was great but nothing like 2008. that was just on another level, we shut down 16th street for at least a mile north of the white house, and my whole neighborhood, too. people's cars got stuck so they just got out and joined the party. the cops weren't doing anything or messing with anyone, a lot of them were dancing, too. people on top of the bus shelters, people drumming and playing instruments, people crying. it was crazy.

this year people were happy but it wasn't the same kind of euphoria. which makes sense.

weekend was awesome. spent tons of quality time with friends, ate extremely well, watched michigan win a nail-biter from the student section, lost my voice from all the shouting, drank a bunch. good times. i was very active this weekend at low intensity levels, lots of standing, walking, bowling, playing catch, etc. no workout but i did stretch and foam roll at my friend's house and i played pretty intense 1-on-1 with my best friend yesterday morning for 45 minutes. we're very evenly matched -- he has much better ball skills (low bar) but i'm stronger and a better shooter. some good jumping, although when i tried DLRVJ after the game it was bad news. knees not having it. that usually means i'm tired and dehydrated, i think.

also, i fucked the fuck out of my right big toe. like bad. i think it started with the bowling. felt okay during bball yesterday but afterwards it was painful enough that i was limping for a while and then had to focus hard to not limp later. ibuprofen and several rounds of ice yesterday helped and it's better this morning but i got a shooting pain during a meeting and it's still sensitive. i will squat tonight but not jump even if i feel good, no sense in aggravating it. holiday season is approaching, going to be harder to be consistent in the gym. must maintain focus.

gym closes in two weeks. i think for the time being i will stay with my gym but shift to the 14th street location and just do CMJ, jump squats depth jumps and short-distance or stationary MR stuff. i called the church today to see about using the court even after my gym moves out. they guy i spoke to didn't know who's in charge of it but he's going to call me back. fingers crossed. if that doesn't work and i can't stand not doing DLRVJ every workout, i'll suck it up and pay the $146 for sports clubs LA as soon as they have another no-joining-fee deal.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right lat, right bicep and pec a bit
ACHES/INJURIES: right toe fuxored, not as bad as yesterday
FATIGUE: low to moderate

- warm up

- squat MSEM 295 x 8,8
weight was flying, FLYING i say. very strong, excellent form. 15-20s rests

- OHP 100 x 8,8

- pull up x 2,2
right lat was past soreness, felt wonky. decided to wait until thursday.

- shoulder mob stuff x 10 mins

- glute bridge x 10,10,10
paused reps

- hip mob stuff x 5 mins

- stretching

successfully avoided jumping. i did try a higher-intensity jump (than jumping rope, which i did to warm up) and the toe just said, no, go fuck yourself. more ibuprofen and some ice tonight and hopefully i'll be shipshape, relatively, by thursday. now time to go eat some food.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none, yay
FATIGUE: low until the end of the workout, then suddenly high

- warm up

- DLRVJ/DSVJ x 6
i wasn't warmed up enough because i was rushing in advance of old man basketball. fuckers. but jumps would have sucked anyway despite the good sleep the night before. legs were just heavy.

- MR half tuck x 15,15,15

- MR ME pogo x 5,5,5

- ME SVJ x 3,3
got video, will post later. judging by where my heels got relative to my thighs while standing, i'd guess these were in the 26-28 range.

- squat 315 x 3,3,3 | 265 x 8,8,8
super strong except last set of 8. got fatigued and form started to break down, ended up with a lower back pump that hadn't been there before. will bump weight next time anyway.

- OHP 105 x 8,8

- pull up x 8,8
too easy

- stretch

You can't expect good jumps 2 days after doing 16 singles @ ~90%. I guess you know that already.
I tried last year with 8 singles@80% 2 days before and was still unrecovered  :uhhhfacepalm:
Awesome squatting lately, it SHOULD have some impact on jumping when you jump rested/recovered...
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?
