Hi folks. I have to apologize for being away. Work is extremely busy. Its the end of our fiscal year and the place is jumping. Not to mention I'm having real PC problems.
My elbows are absolutely killing me. Its getting harder to bench all the time and free weights for tricep exercises are horrible. I wear the noeprene sleeves, but its getting to be a problem. I'll deal though.
Looking forward to seeing Tim and the masters nationals again, and I know we will do dinner this time!!!
Hope all is well with you crazy WOTW guys!!

I have had tricep tendinitis problems for years! So I can sympathize completely. I've tried everything including the neoprene sleeves. Bench presses are murder. I can do them but I don't lock out, that seems to help. Last yr. my left elbow got so inflamed that I went to a physical therapist and he used a topical anti inflammatory treatment. It worked but now my right elbow is giving me trouble. Aaaaah!
I've ordered a product from Beverly International called Joint Care, its a glucosamine/chondroitin product in a gel capsule thats supposed to be really good. I'll let you know how it works!

Joel, hope that works out for you. I suffered with similar, but not quite to your degree.
Steve, great to see you here. Look forward to seeing you at Masters. Unfortunately, Tim is passing but will be competing in NABBA in September.

What, Tims passing this up??? Ok, wheres the NABBA show? Hey Steve good to hear from you buddy!!  I figured since I`ve done three contests already this year, that I would fare better by doing the NABBA Nats as opposed to the NPC Masters Nats......just need to be a bit bigger and harder to be competitive in Pittsburgh.........I think I have made progress,but not satisfied yet.............. but next year I`m doing the Over-50 only, and I`ll be more than ready for those old bast*rds!!!!! LOL#oldmansmiley9lq# The NABBA Nationals is a lot more realistic, as last year in Pitt.,I felt like I was waaaaaay out of my league......especially in the Over-40 class.............some of those guys looked almost alienlike! ;D I came in too small, as originally, I was thinking of trying to go down to lightweight in order to possibly have a better chance of placing,bad move as I had no hopes of getting that light again in this lifetime! Not an excuse,I know I wouldn`t have placed anyway,but I know I can get a top 5 in the Over-50 with improvements...........in fact I still feel I got robbed for 5th. last year but that obviously doesn`t make a bit of difference as to the outcome since it`s in the books. The NABBA Nats in on Sept. 9th. in Harrisburgh. Take care of those elbows bro,and post or visit when you can!!  Looking forward to more reviews when you write them up. |

Harrisburgh aint too far from Pgh, so I'll try to make it there.
I want to check out the NABBA scene anyway, it sounds like its gaining steam. Is the promoter John Heck?
