Yeah right! I do play for the other team though... serious... still with a few odds and ends left...I think we all do somehow (but yeah serious enough to attend Sabbath school (no, I am not a jew :!!! ) and teach it often times.
Anyway lets get into things here:

Rememberance of last night's w/o, performed Arnold curls (d/b) strictly, albeit with 15's rather than 19 Kg (the prescribed 5+negs weight) and faired OK.
I am using a tennis elbow brace (over my forearm, prevents full muscle contraction and eases the pain for sure), I then followed with incline curls also stric form with the same weight although prescription indicated 4 Kgs more.
No serious pain.
Felt a twinge when I took the same weights and performed d/b
overhead incline extensions on the bench, but only when I stopped the exercise and was putting the weights down, felt it up my forearms, but that was that.
Also did stright bar french curls with 45's (negatives) and no pain either.
So, since I started taking it easy, it is not bothering me that much!

Yeah, exactly the line I was thinking of, in fact the next cycle I am simply going to extend the 5's after my maxes, the partner I have right now is not exactly experienced with how much of a negative I am willing to experience
(ends up taking too much of the concentric part.)
The squats yesterday were productive, I have been a little scared so to say of getting past my best (125 Kg) for 5, but ended up doing it again for 6 and could have done 8 or so, which means I could add another 10% and try it out.

Quote[/b] ]Well, that's it. Hopefully, someone more experienced in this area can give us better advice in case we are headed to more injury (hope not).
I'd love for Kate to give her input but your advice is "right on the money" so much for the MD
, I'll visit the physio this week or next while on SD, I need to get a good massage anyways and the missus is not inclined to get that one going qyuite the way I'd like.
Ciao, mate and .....thanks again
