January 14, 2012:
Starting Strength-Inspired Semi-Program: Week 2, Day 3
Warm-up: Rowing machine: 8 minutes at resistance 10: 1660m
Squat: Warm-up, 250x4x2, x3x3
OHP: Warm-up, 122x6, x5x2
DL: 355x3 (RO, no attempt 4)
Total lift time: 80 minutes
Stretch: 15 minutes
Body weight: 236lbs
Missed lifting: 19 day(s) in the last 12 weeks.
Notes:
Not a great day. My left elbow started feeling seriously sore halfway though the overhead work, and worrying myself about the implications of a recurrence of my old friend medial epicondylitis was not conducive to lifting well for the rest of the day. It’s also time to reset my “deadlift after a lot of squatting weight,” which didn’t cheer me up any, either. Finished up, stretched out, went home, took some ibuprofen and spent the rest of the evening icing my elbow.
Current plan is to baby the elbow for a couple of days, and if it winds up tender during Wednesday’s scheduled bench pressing, then babying it for a couple more. I am not prepared to accept another seven-month hiatus from all things involving elbow extension and flexion.
