My left arm is killing me at the elbow since late last night. The weird thing is that yesterday was legs, so the only thing I can think is maybe from an underhanded grip on deadlifts??? Or maybe my hands were too wide?
I can't really bend my arm without some good pain, so I may take an extra off day tomorrow.
Do you think it's from the deads?

Probably not from the deads alone, i would guess a culmination of the overloads and stresses.
Cool think about the BP is flexibility, take a day or two or four..got to feel right to move forward. If you dont see improvement after a few days off then go see your Dr.

I speculate the following:
Too wide a grip can impose a pulling/sheering force on the elbows. Consider a narrower grip to mitigate.
Also, look into CissusRx or like Cissus product. The lower % extracts (5-10%) are better at healing injuries like this than the higher. I use a 5% myself.
Stuff works WONDERS IMO and you'd be well advised to get on this stuff pronto. I think Hank has had some good experiences with it as well... Very pleasantly surprised by this stuff.
I hope it helps...

Thanks guys- will do!
It's improved a bit today, but I don't think it's good enough to do my upper workout today. Will give it another day and just do some cardio today.
Ordering now...
