Back Squat
5x45, 5x95, 5x135, 5x185, 3x225, 3x275, 1x315, 1x365
4x385 @ 10
I tried a slightly wider grip than normal and really shrugged the bar up high, both of which were suggestions from elsewhere to alleviate my elbow pain. Those helped, somewhat. I could actually grip stuff after my squat session, and I'm OK now, but I'm icing it just in case. The first three squats were generally solid (second was a bit high), and the fourth was terribly good-morninged and not even to depth.
Power Clean
3x70kg, 3x80kg, 3x90kg
3x97.5kg (Full Cleaned)
These hurt my elbows too, which made it difficult to pull it all the way up, which made me full clean them. I like doing cleans, but I may have to rethink doing them if they interfere with my other training so much.
Ab Rollouts: 3x7
Kind of. Bar interference made me incapable of truly finishing the last few reps.
I think my attempts on the squat will be something like 385/425/440-450. 385 because I can triple it, 425 because that's a silghtly conservative max based on the triple at 385, and 440-450 depending on how I feel and also as an aggressive max based on the triple + 1 at 385.

Any change the elbow pain occurred when (or just after) you started doing power cleans again? I remember that these were the cause for wrist pain.
ReplyDeleteMy prediction for this meet is >= 1250, or even close to 1300 in a perfect day.
I think cleans make my elbow pain worse, but they weren't the original cause. That was pretty obviously squats, since I could barely grip the bar on the last rep of 4x2 last week because my elbows hurt so much. Other movements hurt too, like bench, dips, pullups, etc.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm hoping to at least total masters (1279) at the meet, which I think is doable if my elbows don't give me more problems. I'll be figuring out my other attempts int he coming days, so we'll see.
