Probably should only do three heavy worksets as the form fell through on the final two. First three were mint, however!

What you got with that forearm? You mentioned elbow pain in Lu Raises but it moved down the arm.

Nah it's a similar spot around the medial epicondyle of the arm - I don't think it's moved. Unsure exactly where it originates, though. Thankfully yesterday's rows weren't an issue either.

Golfers elbow way easier to say. When you said it moved to forearm was making sure you didn't just rupture /rip/ tear / strain the same area. Cause it's a long recovery.

Gotta straight up do more of these at a medium-low intensity to iron out the form flaws. I'm having a weird gnawing deep hip ache on the right side in the bottom of the pull.
 
One-armed DB rows
42.5*15*5

Probably the first time in YEARS I've kicked off a session with these, and I'm reminded why I made myself a mental post-it note detailing how they're the GOAT upper body mass builder for me.

Paused bench

Pec flies machine

Might not look like much to the world, but this was a brutal and great session. Getting acquainted to more volume, and reintroduced creatine, whey and more diligent protein tracking three weeks ago after putting lifting on the backburner for quite some time. Shoulders and traps are blowing up.
