I hope someone on here reads this and can help me.

For several weeks now i have been experiencing pain in my left elbow. it hurts anytime i try to lift with it. i haven’t been able to do any tricep work or benching. i have did a little shoulder work but I have since cut that out. I’m doing the guy thing and avoiding going to the doctor because it doesn’t seem like a severe injury. It’s not hampering my day to day life other than it is keeping me out of the gym. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? If you have please PM me and let me know. If a doc is needed then so be it but if there is something else i can do that would be better.

Well, I hope someone sees this and responds. I will look forward to hearing from you.

Well i started a new diet on Monday. I’m hoping now to drop some bodyfat without losing muscle. Eating clean is a chore. But it’s well worth it. I did it before so I can do it again. I have been disappointed in my progress lately so I hope this kickstarts me. I tried to bulk for a while but I just got fat instead. I think maybe I used it as an excuse to eat poorly. So now I am eating right and I hope this makes a difference. I know after just 3 days i feel much better. Not as bloated as I felt before. It takes much effort but I know it will be worth it in a few weeks. I am working with Brian Wiefering (sp?) through email. He has been a big help so far. Wish me well as I continue this journey.

Today’s workout was a good one. It was shoulder day. Delts have been a focus for a couple of months now. I hope they are getting better. Took some new photos to add on here most likely on Saturday. It will be a busy day though. Workout, clean out the garage and then at 3:30 it’s Ohio State football. Hope all is well with my bodybuilding friends today.

Had a great early morning workout today. Leg day this morning. It’s hard to do squats at 5 am but once you get going it’s not too bad. I’m a day behind this week. My last workout of the week will be tomorrow morning. I have now gained about 4 lbs of muscle since July. It seems slow but on the other hand it is progress. I hope I can continue at that pace b/c when you think about it I could easily reach my goal at this rate. I am not real patient though. That’s why  I want it all right now.
