Lei's Big Huge Log

I strained my elbow getting caught in a tight armbar. Getting caught again later that same night didn't make things better. Then on Tuesday, I got caught in another one because I didn't tell the guy I was rolling with that my arm was a little ****ed up. I tried power cleaning the other day-- shouldering the bar just about killed me. But I'm okay with some other ROM.
 
that's crap. just let it rest! and dude, don't get beat up so often, then this won't happen :p

Sorry, I have to bust your balls :D

Have you seen the original video of that gif. You should if you havent.
 
So...basically it hurts to use the bi and tri on my right arm anywhere past 60 degrees. I tried doing a dip, and that sucked. I tried doing a chin, and that sucked even more, because I expected that elbow flexion wasn't the problem.

I'm pleased to say that I can now do OH squats with no balance or postural problems. I'm displeased to say that my elbow is a piece of ****. The ring stuff was hard as hell. The tiedowns I used to make the rings have very high friction against the bar I hang it over, which makes this thing a huge *****. I think this method is a step above using pulleys on the cross cable machine.

Yeah man take it easy on the elbow I would be very upset if you were hurt lei, so upset I would probably fly over to the u.s and hide in the bushes outside your house.

Elbow feels good. If I keep rehabing it with the bands, I know I'll be back to 100% in no time. DB swings for time=death. I pussed out on these though. If ever I needed a partner to yell at me, that was the time.
 
Yes sir, but they are more FBW's than anything. Which makes the overall volume per bodypart small. I guess it's okay since I just wanted to lift and not aggrivate my injuries. But splits are way more brutal/"fun"
