Anyone have any luck with ice or anti inflams or strapping ?!
I bought a pair of cheap elbow wrap things off the Bay for when this happens. They apply just enough pressure and everything feels fine with them.
Try stop BB curls.
It’s kind of a fixed motion.
lol I was only using this as an example of what I couldn’t do. The only curling I do these days is 2 sets of hammer curls for high reps at the end of deadlift day. But even doing those is making it angry. The pain isn’t really very bad it’s more just annoying. Maybe I should stop flexing in front of the wife too !!

Well then I’ll rest my case.
My Doc would say, don’t train if it hurts. And I would train anyway.
Is it called train or is it only the thing on that runs on rails that’s called train.
Looked kind of funny when I wrote it
Lmao I think that all the time but pretty sure there is only one way to spell train…choo choo !!
loooking good. Maybe I should let my wife know how other are treated.

Have felt really stiff all day today. Last night when I was doing the incline bench press I was lowering the bar for maybe my second or third rep of the second set and heard a loud pop / crack. It felt like it came from my upper sternum area where the top ribs or collar bone attach. It didn’t hurt at the time and didn’t effect my training last night but I am very stiff today. Muscles feel ok so don’t think I have torn something. Hoping it was just my back correcting itself. Will see how it feels tomorrow !!

gotta be careful with incline bench, for some the risk vs reward is just not worth it! tbh dumbbell incline is a much better alternative.
Generally if you’re not in pain, you shouldn’t worry too much.
Yer not worried Mark, feel fine today
