10 sets 9/9 reps Hi-pulls and a Getup PR

Had a good session today despite dealing with my fucked up right elbow.  I seem to be able to do getups safely on the right side but when I bend the arm for the hi-pull it's about 7/10 on the pain scale.  I still want to train my right side so I'm sticking to my routine and again reducing the weight I use 40-50%.  My theory is that if I continue training my right side all of the elbows supporting muscles will maintain their strength and hopefully "pull" my elbow into a healthy state. 

Hi-pulls - 5 sets of 9/9 on the 2nd minute and on the minute.  I used the 16 kg bell on the right side for the first round of 5 sets and the 12 kg bell for the faster paced 2nd round.  I used the following weights for my left side: 1st round of 5 sets -  16 kg, 24, 24, 24, 24, 2nd round of 5 sets 16 kg, 18, 24, 24, 24.

Getups - I did 5 rounds using the following weights: 16 kg bell, 24, 24, 24, 24.  4 rounds with the 24 kg bell on both sides is a nice PR.

  1. Nice PR 2T! Remind me to do a bit o' Trigger Point Therapy around your Lats and SITS muscles for that elbow tonight!
