Everyday Systems

Glad to hear you're continuing to make improvements and that the eccentric chin-ups seem to be contributing! Interesting that even such a small volume seems to be making a difference!

I continue to be symptom-free with my own uppy elbow, although I am still doing a mix of physical activities each ...

Great, I'm glad the "eccentric chin-ups" seem to be helping! I have also experienced a phase of "unpleasant awareness" of the affected area, as you describe.

Currently I've had no uppy elbow symptoms at all for probably a few weeks. I'm still on an exercise regimen with SG as a relatively minor ...

I'll do some research ...

Reinhard: How's the flexbar working for you? I think I may have shugged my way into a case of "uppy elbow" as well.

I have a couple of new Everyday Systems I've been trying out. While rudimentary, they have been going well for me for a while now, so I thought I'd share them here in case others might find them helpful:

1. Problem: Sleep debt (chronic sleep deprivation)
While I have seen various written ...

I'd also recommend a more conservative upgrade -- do 12# at the most, for now.
