not training related, but got my copy of Starting Strength 2nd Edition yesterday. Loving it. Need a day off from Uni just to sit and read it.

--------

and thank f__king god it arrived. I described the pain in my arm as like it hurts in my bicep and elbow. Just got to the part on gripping the bar in Starting Strength:

"...people who do this will have sore elbows, a horrible, headache like soreness inside of the elbow that makes them think the injury occurred doing bicep curls. If the elbows are underneathh the weight, and force of the weight is straight down, the wrist and elbows will intercept some of the weight'

Ripptoe is the man. I didn't realise i was gripping the bar the wrong way (both my width was bad, well not bad but I should adjust it / and my thumb was always wrapped around the bar).

Hopefully this pain resides after next week. I may have to take the week off and just let it calm down, aggravating it in 2 workouts was not smart.
