Ross, You read my mind! Thanks for the vid. I was looking for prehab/rehab stuff for elbows. I wasn't having much luck. I'll give this a try. No, I haven't done anything except try not to use it too much. I also've been wearing an elbow wrap. It doesn't do much except to remind me not to use it.

It's still not getting too much better. I'm going to lay off all pressing after the meet next weekend and do accessories for a while. It will be a good time to concentrate on adding some more poundage to my Squat.

Notes:
I was sick last week. Missed work Tuesday, worked Wednesday, missed work Thursday. I figured since I worked Wednesday, I could lift, and man I felt strong for Squats. Then I ran out of gas, fast. I planned to take it easy on Bench anyway. I did easy accessories to compliment Bench. Then I felt like crap after the work out, really spent.

Notes:
Feeling much better after taking it easy for four days. Quick easy workout. My meet is this Saturday and I do not want to over do it. After my planned 3x7 Bench, I decided I just wanted to feel my first lift weight of 225 to gauge if I lost any strength over the past week and do not think I did, the 225 moved pretty fast.

I plan to train again Thursday very very light, just to get some blood flowing and mostly lower body. I do need to lose some weight because I really want to compete in the 181 class. I was 183 this morning, so I plan to cut calories for the rest of the week and fast Friday. Then weigh in Friday night. Then I can rehydrate and carb up for 12 hours before the meet. I know this is not an ideal situation, but hey it's fun messing around with this.

Since the meet is sanctioned by SSA (Syndicated Strength Alliance), I had to buy a singlet, no baggy shorts or t-shirts so the judges can see what's going on. It was worth a little comic relief tonight when my wife and son came home and I was wearing it. It's the first time I ever thought I actually looked like a powerlifter (they didn't think so).
