I injured my biceps and elbow on Friday, moving a table. Something in my elbow popped, fiery numbness shot through my arm, and I couldn’t move my hand for a few seconds. There’s no swelling or immobility, and it’s slowly getting better, so it appears no lasting damaged happened. Thank God! I’m taking ibuprofen twice a day and resting it; if I do any upper-body lifting this week, it’ll probably by my OHP day later in the week and forearm correctives.

    No dumbbell presses until my elbow heals. The plates continually hit my squat stand’s arms, so I have to use light weight. It’s irritating but much better than nothing.

Hilly trail walk

    I had a problem with my data, so the other stats weren’t measured. Soft, steep sand hills = cardio and calf crusher!

    Super slow jog! It’s a great workout though, so I’m inclined to jogging once or twice a week.

Single-arm DB triceps extensions

OHP, rows, and push-ups were “rolling supersets”, where the last couple sets of an exercise were supersetted with the first sets of the next. It worked well.

My elbow is still throbbing and has limited work capacity, so I’ll have to see a doctor. I’m hoping there’s no major or long-term damage.
