    I ruptured a disc in my back doing deads many years ago. One of the most painful and dreadful experiences of my life. That’s been fifteen years ago, but I still get butterflies when I do deads. You just have to get in there and do it. Conquering your fear is part of the iron game. Pushing yourself through dark places. Just do it.

    I’ve found that tennis elbow is usually caused by squeezing the bar too hard. I had a horrible case of it and made one change helped heal it. Simply changing how I grip the bar to thinking of using my hands as hooks, vs squeezing, eliminated my tennis elbow.
