Dufisthenics

I tried to open my workout with a set of pull ups and stopped at rep 12 after feeling pain/discomfort in my left forearm.  At this point there is little doubt that I have managed to come down with tendonitis in that arm after a long hiatus.  The odd thing was I was still able to do fat gripz bicep curls without much issue, getting better numbers than last week.  I really hate letting my pull up numbers slack but if I keep doing something that hurts, it’s going to continue to hurt unless I let it heal.

I also did some crucifix cable curls, a movement I have not done in forever.

I finished with elevated feet bench dips.  By the time I got done with my last set of 25 it felt like the back of my arms were literally on fire as I bent over at the waist in pain, trying to stretch them out.  Small muscle groups can cause a lot of discomfort when you burn them all the way out.
