Bamm-Bamm’s newbie journey

Skullcrushers kill my elbows and I end up with tendinitis in them.

Probably from hyperextending your arms.

I can try and not go to full lockout where I keep a slight bend in the arms at the top of the movement?

Exactly. No need to go to overextend your joints. I don't really do that on any movement, as long as you are going thru the range of motion with good control and can feel it.

Sameee here. They fuck me up. It’s probably my form too

Try what @Battousai just posted. Don't lock out at top of the movement and leave slight bend in the elbows.

Gonna try this trick next session and see if that helps.

Took me a while. I started with dumbbells and got strong with them then recently switched to barbells again. That helped a lot with form. Also keep your form strict, chest up and back arched and don't bring your elbows above your shoulders.

Will definitely give this a shot. Appreciate you bro

I really like hinged rows for going heavy. Just half way between bent over and upright. Basically 45 degree angle. Still get a lot of lat, trap, and mid back activation. Dorian Yates was big on them bro

Going to be trying this as well. Thanks bro

Did quads this morning but was bored tonight so did a shoulder session.

Was starving afterwards and my body was just craving more food I felt like so I had a cheat meal where I went to a local bbq place and ate a ton of pulled pork and had banana pudding for dessert.

Will get back onto the diet tomorrow.
