Hi Everyone.
First off, thanks for thinking through this and taking the time to respond. Here is what I settled on:
- 4 Tabatas per week which look like w/u, jump rope, mountain climber, jump rope 1/4 burpee, cool down
- Nothing that requires too much grip or elbows
- 2 min wall sits / day
- Once my Health Insurance kicks in (after 3 months b/c I just started a new job) I'll see a physio
- I tried one push up this morning and it irritates my elbows, so no pushing I until I see a physio
It's been about one week, and I'm happy to be moving again and my mood is way up. =D yay.
Other background info in case it's interesting. I looked at my old workout log, and I see that as life got more stressful, I did S+S less frequently, but I never reduced the weight and to save time I started skipping warm-ups. So probably a random 32k S&S before a camping trip is what hurt my QL. Regarding my elbows: I started a new desk job--lots of typing, and I've been playing a lot of guitar. I think more computer and more guitar was okay, but when I added in KB press that was just too much on my forearms. Also, I've come to realize that I overgrip everything: jars, guitar bar-chords, my mouse, the steering wheel, even the kitchen knife.
I did get SFG coaching after getting simple standard and I learned a lot. But... it doesn't seem like the right season of life to be juggling coaching at a gym.
When the baseline is back up and my elbows work okay, I'll try to begin S+S again from zero as practice / learning.
