I am totally focused on this show. This is the best I have felt in a long time with the exception of the elbow tendon. It seems to be doing better though. Just have to stay away from certain exercises till it gets better. Definitely the leanest I have ever been at this weight in the off season. Sounds good,and I can relate to the elbow injury........my lowerback is just a complete mess! How did you hurt it? An injured back makes it hard to do just about anything. I load up on 1000mgs of Ibruprofen before I hit chest or shoulders now. Probably not a good idea but oh well.

I can relate! Since I have been powerlifting I have been using heavier then normal weights on some exercises that put the elbow in a dangerous spot. Now elbow pain is almost daily.
Keep up with the great training Eric!

Workouts are still great though. Everyone has a bodypart they are strong on.
