FS Pull - WOWZERS!!

[StrongIsBeautiful]

Today was Pull so I completed FS Pull. I mixed the order of the exercises in the blender with biceps first followed by hamstrings on the ball. I have medial epicondyle issues so I always do biceps first on pull days. I make modifications for many of the lifts whenever I workout. Rather than do upright rows, I do a high pull so that my hands are above my elbows. This actually works the entire shoulder, including the rear delts. I also avoid the slight pouring action at the end of lateral raises. The internal rotation of the shoulder on that move causes me some shoulder pain. I’ve found a way to work rear delts one side at a time that really get deep in the muscle without a lot of weight.

I’d planned to do FS bonus abs, but I found that it was too much for my elbow issues on a pull day. I’ll try the abs on my next cardio day. I’m really loving the FS series!!

We learn to modify don't we! I had to give up upright rows years ago, but it was more of a shoulder thing for me, and I seem to be modifying some all the time! My elbow issues seem to come and go, both medial and lateral, but I just work around it until I "outlast it" and it lessens! Good on ya for your perseverance!

We sure do, tslop49! Upright rows were causing shoulder impingement. Ouch!! I just completed OT for my elbow, but I still have some pain at times as well. My OT told me that it clears in most people in about 11 months. 6 months to go! Of course it comes back and that’s a bummer. Lol. Thank goodness for modifications!!
