I am a 45 year old, 25 year military vet that has been using the swing portion of S&S for around three years with great success. At 5'11 and about 240lbs I can run a mile in under seven minutes and when rolling in my twice a week BJJ classes I have no issues gassing. Basically I experience all the WTH effects I have read about. Now here is my problem, I have very bad elbows. I can do pressing motions relatively pain free but can't do tgu's without pain in my elbows for days. I have OA in both elbow joints and have had them both cleaned out twice. I have a limited range of motion, making the rack position pretty fun to watch.
I have thought of doing a press protocol similar to the swings every other training session , or maybe single arm overhead Squats for ten reps in place of the get ups. I am wondering what you all think? I alternate swing sessions with 10x10 with the 70 or a lighter bell, 53, for 16-20x10. On the lighter volume days I mix ten push ups between sets to keep me fresh for my navy prt's.
Thanks to all of you for this great site!
