    One of my leagues is cursed. First I lost Saquon, then Javonte Williams, now Achane. Yet somehow I'm 4-1, but not liking my chances starting Rachaad White and Jaleel McLaughlin this week.

    ETA: Oh, and Kelce already missed one week, may miss another.

    FF: Went 2-2 this week (kinda become my standard weekly result). One loss came because my QB got hurt, ended up losing by under ten points. That league I'm scrambling...I started the season with three starting QB's, and by the end of week 6 all three were hurt...Watson (shoulder), Fields (hand) and Garoppolo (back). Had to trade a future rookie pick to get Geno Smith just so I could have SOMEBODY at QB until one of my starters returns. I'm 4-2 (should be 5-1), so didn't want to just tank the season.

    Team 1: W (5-1)
    Team 2: W (3-3)
    Team 3: L (2-4)
    Team 4: L (4-2)

    Really itching to get back into the weight room, but I'm forcing myself to stay out the entire recovery period until Monday. My elbow is feeling better, so hopefully that's a sign I made the right choice. But in talking to a competitive bodybuilder coworker, he said he also has dealt with elbow tendonitis, but it wasn't until after he switched from powerlifting to bodybuilding with the extra volume that his elbow started to become an issue. I realize I had the same history; elbows just fine when powerlifting, and became an issue only in last year...and I switched to bodybuilding in last year...coincidence? Not that I plan to return to powerlifting...my days of seeking a new 1RM are behind me...but I wonder if my body's just not dealing with the volume I'm asking of it anymore. I've been really happy with the results from doing upper/lower twice per week, but maybe should return to once per week, such as what you do, @ninerbuff .

    Repetitve motion with resistance is the main cause of tendinitis. So not uncommon to get if going from 3-6 reps to 8-15 reps.

    Weights: Upper Power

    Bench Press 5x5
    Cable Row 5x5
    Seated BB OHP 3x8
    Cable Pushdown <superset> Preacher Curl 3x8

    Analysis: First day back in the gym in almost two weeks, decided to take it easy and slash the volume this week as I get back into the groove of things.

    Fantasy: Managed to survive bye-mageddon, with six teams on bye this week. One of my teams had the misfortune of being the #2 scoring team...facing the #1 scoring team. Sucks to lose the week when I would've whooped any other team by 50+ points. But at least my IRL Broncos won to avoid an 0-4 start for home games, that would've been bad.

    Food: Last night was pizza

    Happy Tuesday! Full schedule and kickboxing class this morning. Well I scored the most points in the league this week. And after looking at the standings, I'm only a game out of 6th place. Guess there's still a chance.

    Cardio: Walking/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: chest- incline chest press, machine flat bench, dips, machine flyes, cable crossovers. 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Steak and salad yesterday.

    Strength: Lower Power

    RDL 5x5
    Hack Squat <superset> Standing Calf Raises 3x8
    Seated Leg Curl 3x8
    Cable Crunch 3x10

    Analysis: Leg press was in use, had to substitute hack squat. Didn't think about it at the time, but now I'm wondering how feasible it is to do a one-leg version of the hack squat, since I'm doing single leg presses. Maybe if I hold my other leg straight out horizontally... Would also have to play with the resistance used. Hmm...

    Food: Last night was garlic soy chicken strips with buttered egg noodles

    FF: Went 2-2 this week (my standard weekly result). At the halfway point of the season, three of four leagues have winning records, and the one poor record (2-5) is actually only a single game out of playoff position because the other three teams in my division are 3-4.

    Team 1: W (6-1)
    Team 2: W (4-3)
    Team 3: L (2-5)
    Team 4: L (4-3)
