Smart move! I skipped my leg work last week due to a strained calf muscle. Holy smokes was I hobbled yesterday after my Monday leg session.

Found out yesterday that everyone in my position at work was supposed to be working remote. A bigger company bought us a few years ago and are finally getting around to standardizing us across the entire company. Up until now, every region has been doing their own thing. Upside is that instead of getting up at 4:30 to beat the traffic and get to work by 7:00, I can now sleep until 6:30 and start working at 8. I can still go into the office as needed, but really it is rarely needed. I have another office that I manage that is 600 miles away. They work just fine with me only being there 1.5 days every 6 weeks.

There are less people in the gym at 6:45 than at 4:45. Surprised me.

We have 2 of these sleds. I just push it with whatever weight I find on it. It has 4 levels of resistance. I usually start at the hardest and then drop down as needed.

Sorry to hear about the elbow. I wear Mark Bells slingshot elbow sleeves. They seem to help. If you decide to order, make sure you take a measurement per the website. They are tight. Putting on requires me to fold over the top, and use that fold to pull them on, and then roll over the fold at the top once mostly in place. I also started putting on CBD ointment that I got at a local Sprouts, and it actually seems to be helping.

I bought some sleeve off of Amazon. I’ve never worn them before, so I went cheap just to see what I thought. They definitely help to an extent. I’ll look into the slingshot sleeves. I was just thinking about some kind of ointment this morning. I have a Sprouts a quarter mile away. I’ll go look for some.

My company is about to realign regions, and I just found out my boss is moving to another company under our big umbrella owner. This kind of stuff makes me nervous.
