My best was around 40 but cant remember how much I weighed at the time. Couldve been anywhere between 190-210. Bodyweight increases definately cut my reps down though.

There came a point I said FUCK THAT SHIT, can only wait around so long

I actually think training makes you recover so much faster. I hadn't expected to be benching nearly as much as I used to with the fucked ligaments and shit in my elbow either. Mate of mine just recently got back to training after tearing his upper trap. I'm hanging to see how quickly his recovery will now be.

yea elbows is the biggest issue for me now. Numbness in hands hasnt really affected training. Reducing the stimulants and not using straps has helped diminish the numbness slightly, take some of the edge off of it. Depends how you train and the nature of the injury. I some cases I think time off makes it heal slower though. Ill mix it up depending how it feels. My back and ruptured disks used to be the biggest issue for me. Now it doesnt really seem to effect me much. Just avoid deadlifts and bent over back rows. The sciatica is more a nuisance after heavy leg pressing. Nothing new though.

Not really a training session. Didnt go above my warm up weight for leg presses. Knee tendons still torn up from the 1100 and 1200 lb sets 2 weeks ago. Anti inflammatories masked it at the time. :

Might want to think about it.

Feeling better overall, just much weaker. Now my goal is mainly size so has been more BB style training. Most of my size was built from heavy ballistic style training. So now that strength is starting to come back have started incorporating that again. The slower reps are more to get the blood in there, more BB style. I wont get into fast twitch and slow twitch fibers cuz Im not a fucking scientist. I always try to hit that shit from every angle though. Leave nothing unturned. Aside from training low volume or low intensity. Wont even try that shit, know it wont work

4-29-11 Friday (started 4 am saturday) Triceps and Biceps

Slowly working back up. Volume is getting better again. Elbows have been better.

Any suggestions how i can target my outer tricep without a v-bar handle or skull crushers, close grip bench? The vbar at this gym is way too short, piece of shit. Rope doesnt do shit for me either but fuck with wrists.

Preacher Machine Curls: (holding contractions)

Finding the new combination of BB curls and incline DB curls very good for hitting the biceps hard. The standing alternating DB curls I did mostly for years were way too easy to throw around extra weight and use other muscles. The incline DB feels very much more isolated on the bicep. The BB curls are not as loose in the past and seem to compliment it well. Will add hammers back in soon as well
