Complete 12 weeks of Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength. (read all 3 entries…)
Untitled 3 months ago

Going in to week 8, I’ve injured my elbow. Nothing major. I believe I stressed my wrist flexors doing power cleans, not during the lift, but in dropping the bar from the rack position to the hang clean position. “Halting” the bar in the hang clean position before putting it back down on the floor seems to have been the problem. Taking some time off. No reason not to do my squats though …

Currently:

Squats: 3×5x180lbs
Bench: 3×5x145lbs
Overhead Press: 3×5x100lbs
Deadlift: 1×5x175lbs
Power Clean: 5×3x95lbs
