Notes - This was going pretty well until a weird rep on the overhead press that put a lot of pressure on my right pinkie finger / wrist which feels like shit now.  I had my acupuncturist / bodyworker treat it today, helped quite a bit, but I'll have to see where this goes. Disappointing.  I am not quite sure what occurred other than I think the weight shifted suddenly on the press and I just overloaded it.  Still having issues anyway with the elbows and the treatment today revealed a ton of tight spots in my forearms, etc.  Just a lot going on here, unfortunately.  Hoping my body responds in 48 hours.
