- Squat (box): 225 pounds 5x5
- Bench Press: 200 pounds 3x5
- Barbell Row: not done due to elbow injury
First off: Merry Christmas to everyone.
A few days ago, I tried squatting in the low-bar position and had something pop in my left elbow. I decided not to workout that day and rested until today. When I tried lifting today, the pain was bad but the lack of strength in that arm was worse. Since my squat form hasn’t been acceptable, I did box squats. I deloaded on the bench press and was able to get through those sets without elbow issues. The barbel row was a no-go because I had no grip strength in that arm. I’ll need to use straps on rows and deadlifts for the time being, but I’m not sure how much weight I’ll be able to use even with the assistance.
For Christmas, my family gave me a pair of Adidas 4.0 weightlifting shoes. I will let you know if they make a difference in my training.
