What is the injury and how have you had it?I know you are right. Tendons never respond to doing nothing but finding the right intensity in the rehab is the tricky part. I just wanted to rest a few days to see how it felt after it settled down after the rehab. I had golfers elbow for the last month or two but also something on the other side of the elbow. This was just a mild annoyance but then developed into something much more acute just before Xmas. It could be tennis elbow or something up with the annular ligament. I am not sure. I did have something similar a couple of years back and eventually it just went away.

Any thoughts?
Finish with 2-rep max pull ups testing, just about managed +25kg; lots of gains to be made here!

That sounds like a pretty big week for someone who hasn't really trained before, so you could be the typical "New Year, new me" thing; get psyched, set loads of goals, hammer it in training, get injured....don't try to do too much too soon!

Glad I'm not the only one who can hang of small hold with more weight than can do a pull up with.I totally misunderstood your entry from last week and thought you were doing one rep with your bodyweight added again because you wrote 100%!!
Ah yes, my bad. 100% just meaning all of the weight i.e One rep max and the other percentages just been of that weight if that makes sense so can definitely see how that could be misinterpreted it's just how I've been keeping track in my own notes.Totals would beMax hang @ 160% (72 + 42kg)One Rep Max pull at @ 150% (72 + 35kg)
My question, how do I teach my lats to do the work instead of my arms?
