I used the right arm with that 150 pound sand bag for each lift last week in that regional work out- sice we have no 150lb ball and the next day it was slightly strained- now it hurts to lift things up in my right anterior elbow. If I baby it for a few days it will be back to normal.

A) done; B) worked up to 265, but didn’t feel like positions were correct, so I backed off to 235 for the last 5 C) 135 across focusing on perfect form step-ups; 50# (heaviest DB I had so I went 5 reps across D) Done, but I got the message about intensity too late – probably went 70-80% effort instead of the RX-ed because the AD measure RPMs but it wasn’t that hard. I also worked hard on position and posture here which always helps with my breathing and focus. Then a few hours at the pool to relax. Good… Read more »
