Elbows are manageable, but just front squatting, back squats can be a bitch on elbows sometimes

Short/mid term goal is drop 5kg and build work capacity and conditioning (slightly strength is the ultimate goal) then longer term build my gym total to around 630ish. My squat needs to be up 20kg and I'd like to bench 160kg. But at this stage normalise things, get some more reps in and be a little less fat. 32 now and things hurt more

Lol 32? Lebron is 32, you watched him lately?
