I said I was going to take a few days off. I said I was going to let my body rest and hope the tendons in my left shoulder and elbow would heal up. Then my wife left with the kids to go play with their cousins and I was left with chores to do... hmm, Gym? SURE!
I biked to the gym (not far, no biggie). I got my squat sets, and was in a lot of pain because of it. A liberal application of Blue Heat AND Tiger Balm, 1000mg of IB, 440mg of Aleve, and half a tab of of the wife's 4 year old post natal Oxycodone later, and I was still in quite a bit of pain. Didn't get Bench OWU, and got one work set and was done. Blech.
I will have to try the cambered bar--and if that doesn't work, I'll have to [glances around to make sure no one is listening] do the leg press! I know, I know... I don't like it any more than you do--but I am doing so well that I don't want to back slide, and if I don't get this pain under control, I won't be able to finish a single bloody workout... Actually, I think I will move directly to the Leg Press, give it a week or two, then try a regular bar. If that doesn't work, I'll go to Cambered. Wish me luck.
I can't be too upset--I mean I did squat 2 sets of 10 at 270 pounds... that is pretty awesome in itself. But Having that ruin the rest of my workout was a bit bogus.

I think I will continue to bike to the gym as time and energy permit.
