Been having some mixed efforts and sessions. Shoulder presses have been going up like crazy, bench has been stalling, back squats have been a thorn on my side. Last session I decided to give LBBS a try again. Shoulder and elbows have been feeling good and except for the whole blinding elbow pain I was experiencing, I feel more comfortable with them. The first two sets were a bit odd but the last was solid. What I found was:
-I lowered the bar a notch and found the spot where the bar needs to be. It's low but not too low.
-I need a really really narrow grip to keep the bar from pushing on my elbows. Like just barely clearing my shoulders
-I need a bit wider stance than what I was using

Shoulder press was solid. 48 felt easier than 47.5. go 48.5.
Tried a set of kipping pull-ups. Need to do that more often. Good for shoulder flexability.

Solid on the front squats. Was suppose to do back squats but decided to go FS because of the Deadlifts.
Bench Press is giving me problems. Need to drop down a session or two.
Power Cleans were flying up,

Took an extra day off to get over my cold.
The trouble with back squats. They're feeling way too heavy then what they should.

Shoulder Press is solid and keeps going up.
Weighted Pull-ups were solid and need more weight.

-Front Squats: 87.5 x5x3
-Bench Press: 72 x4/3/2
-Power Clean: 65 x5x4 67.5 x3
Fighting a cold and probably should have just went home to bed instead of the gym. Was really feeling the last session of squats so I decided to go front squats again. Wrist and shoulder flexibility felt a lot better. Bench Press just sucked and I didn't have it in me at all. Power Cleans felt surprisingly good.
