Ive probably lifted 4 times in the past two weeks? I definitely hit a wall injury wise and honestly sleep wise. Way too many 5-6 hours of sleep nights in the long run caught up to me

knee: great
hammy: great
shoulder: definitely still a problem, but not as bad
elbows: both are hurting for some reason now lol

i have gone two days in a row which Im happy about

Shoulders... the downfall of almost everyone who lifts weights long enough. I feel my left shoulder will never be 100% again, but I've found ways to work around that and most critically I haven't made things worse. If you find a solution, please let me know!

As for elbows, mine were starting to hurt awhile back, but then I bought some elbow pads. I don't use them for every exercise or keep them on for my entire workout, but they've helped a lot with some of the movements that were causing problems.

If you don't already own a pair, I got Iron Bull Strength Elbow Sleeves from Amazon. I'd highly recommend buying a size up, or measuring your arms after you've got a pump, otherwise you run the risk of them getting too tight as some of the ratings have lamented. The only other downside (at least for me) was a little bit of heat rash on my right inner elbow. Again, this is why I no longer wear them for my entire workout which prevents the sweat from accumulating too much. Worth noting, I have fairly sensitive skin, so YMMV and you may not run into that problem at all.
