Squats and Core Work
My left elbow started really bothering me yesterday, so there was no way I was doing overhead presses, deadlifts, weighted pullups, or even burpees today. Decided to keep up the squat portion of the stronglifts program:
- Squat
- 5 x 5 x 255lb
Since I couldn’t do much else, I cooled down with 5 sets of 135lb squat and really focused on form. I’m feeling pretty good with my squat progress. Then went into some core training:
- 10 Knees-to-Elbows
- 20 Russian Twists (25lb plate)
- 10 Weighted DB Decline Situps (20lb in each hand)
- 10 Good Mornings (45lb)
Repeat 3x, finish with 2:00 min plank hold.
I think I may pause the stronglifts program and the burpee challenge for a week to let my elbow heal up. Frustrating.
