9/26/15 Saturday September 26, 2015 (pull-ups, push-ups, DB 32kg carries)

Writing this on Saturday night.  Got this done in the afternoon while my mom watched the kids for a bit after a morning of running around Seattle to their soccer games.

Cycling off weighted pull-ups for a bit.  I think they are aggravating some elbow stuff I am working through, or it's just too much volume and stress on the elbows overall so I need to cut back somewhere, and after speaking with Kevin on Friday this felt like a good idea as I have been working those weighted pull-ups for several weeks now.

Hanging from rings

7 pull-ups (rings)

Break for an hour

DB 32kg farmer carries, 2 sets, about 90 seconds or more for each set (down one set from last week, left elbow starting to light up)

Body feels extremely good these days except the elbows.  Pull-ups and push-ups felt very good today, but the farmer carries really got the left elbow barking.  Doing a bunch of lacrosse ball release and I also think I need to get in and get some massage done.  I think this is just part of ramping up volume after a couple of months during the summer of having to work low volume, lighter weight as I was working through the back and oblique issue.  That's basically cleared up now but the elbows are barking particularly the left.  I have gone through this before.  A back-off week is scheduled and it's in order, as I need to focus and work on this.  Going to get more Indian Club practice going to work on the shoulders, honestly that's usually where this thing starts.
