So taken and accepted. LOL

So my workout today consisted of 45 minutes of Stairmaster, 10 minutes of rope, tons of stomach and back.

Tomorrow I will do 30 minutes of stairmaster and light chest, shoulder and tri’s. My elbow hurts, wear you bend, at the top of the forearm and bottom of bicep. kind of like a burning sensation. Weird. Been using “Freeze It” and Ibuprofen. Seems to help.

The rest is joint pain that should subside in time and feels sore more than previous injuries.

Friend suggested glucosome.

“light chest, shoulder and tri’s. My elbow hurts, wear you bend, at the top of the forearm and bottom of bicep. kind of like a burning sensation.”

You hurt because you have a muscle imbalance (like most lifters), favoring pressing exercises.

Stop all presses for a while, except push ups at varying widths. (Push ups will engage back muscles. Presses against a bench do not.)

Do deadlifts and chin ups.

Pull downs are not the same a chin ups. If you can’t do chin ups, use the weight-assisted chin up station.

If you are not comfortable using a bar to do deadlifts, use dumbells. Don’t lose the arc of your back (look in the mirror like you want to read your t-shirt). If you lose the arc, you will screw up your back royally.
