Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
Started trying to structure sets of things. I realaized I can do 3 sets of 10 on some of the stuff I'm doing (like the 120# Leg Presses)... also upped curls again (60#x10, 72#x10, 60#x10), chest press (60#x20) and changed my assisted pull-ups from 80# to 70#
As an aside, I broke my elbow around 10 years ago... went to PT for 6+ months and got a good amount of range-of-motion back. Sometimes it seems like it comes "out of place" a little and hurts when I extend it until it finally goes back into place. This usually happens when I straighten it too much, as I can no longer fully straighten that elbow.
Since Monday, it's been like that. My whole routine was ok today, though, it didn't affect me till I tried a new exercise... some tricep thing were you sit down, grab bars around waist-high and push straight down. It was set at 60#, which I figured I could do. Around the third rep, my elbow just felt really weird, like something bad was imminent, so I stopped right away.
My question is, with that kind of an injury, are there certain exercises I should stay away from? Any that would help further improve range-of-motion? Should I just have a quick consult with a PT to discuss this kinda thing?
TIA.
