My right elbow was hurting bad from last nights arm-bar. Couldn't completely extend my arm, the inner, upper part of my forearm was killing me.

I took the advice of Shaf and some of the other folks on IGx and ditched speed work for today. I also worked some compression band stuff pre-training...

...for want of a voodoo compression band that says "MOBILITYWOD.com" on it, I used one of the wide, stiff green bands we use for dynamic effort bench. I wrapped it as hard as I could around my upper forearm, and with a 20 lb. dumbell in-hand, palm up, I rolled it over and back again, over and back again. 2 sets of 20 on each forearm and I shit you not, the pain was gone. I could fully extend my right arm comfortably, no pain at all. I put the Raw Heat on there, got my elbow sleeves on, and got to work.

Popped an Advil when I was done and ate a chicken breast sandwich with wasabi mustard. Some tightness and discomfort came back, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was.

I'm investing in one of those bands. That shit was awesome.
