A. Power Clean; 1 rep every 15 seconds for 25 reps @ 185#-205# No elbow pain w/ this so I was happy! Used 185# across. Didn't want to go any heavier this week. Was being cautious of how body was feeling today. This was a good weight to focus on positioning in the pull.
B1. Deadlift; 2 reps x 6 sets; rest 2min - Skipped. Gripping heavy weight above 275# today was bothering elbow. Its only after it tends to hurt. When I try to bend right elbow.
