Notes - This was good.  I was really watching my elbows / forearms on the warm up and the SWs to see how things felt.  I noticed the left elbow the most on the catch in the GSq, and also noticed it on the TK PR though this is hugely better than it was last week, so there is progress.  The feeling is on the inner part of the elbow - trigger point for the Scap / Subscap as realized through my massage last week. Have to really keep working the lacrosse ball on those trigger points, as well as applying ice/heat a couple of times a day (which I did).  Swings felt outstanding, really powerful, very good hip snaps, finishing locking out the knees, no elbow issues noticed at all.  Right forearm seemed to tighten up - interesting.  I have noticed a little bit there as well as tightness in that tricep while doing lacrosse ball work.  Going to stay on top of it.  I think moving into a couple of weeks concentrating on just Swings and Getups while I work through the body stuff will be very appropriate and beneficial to get my programming back on track.
