Workout 121108

Strained an oblique muscle trying to do a OAC the other day so had to work around that. My elbows have also been tender from all of the grippers but I am making very good progress on them. May have to put the OAC training on hold for a bit.

Hindu Pushups 10 on top of every minute for 10 min

Inward Pendulums 3x5 25lbs
Outward Pendulums 3x5 25lbs

Hack Squats
16kg x 5
32kg 3x2

Swings 32kg 5x5

Ab wheel leg curls 3x10

Hoping the clubbell stuff will help the elbows. Scott Sonnon says it is supposed to lengthen the tendons which would counteract all of the gripper work. Tried to do weighted pullups but my oblique was not having it. Swings were as hardstyle as possible.

Hey Nate,
Check out the extensor bands from IronMind:

They will work the extensor muscles of the hands/forearms and will balance all of the grip work you are doing. Will also likely help with your elbow pain.

Matt,
Thanks for the response.

I do use the extensor everyday in conjunction with the grippers.

I think all of the grip fighting in BJJ on top of the grippers is a bit much for the elbows!
