The tendon in my left elbow no longer gets irritated after exercise,
it took 9-months to heal completely but has been nearly an forgotten issue for 2-3 months now.
Dead lifts
Squats
Pull-ups/Chin-ups
These were the three exercises I was told were essential, and you really don't need much else. I might agree with this although I do many other exercises and activities. They were "
game changers" for me to say the very least.
Other game changers or "
threshold" exercises have been walking on my hands and feet in all directions, creative use of my dipping bars for pull ups from underneath, and reverse push ups off the front bumper of the 911 (
the perfect height).
Just monkeying around schoolyard style with my overhead pull up bar and "walking the plank" as seen in a Youtube video were good simulators.
Running, swimming and one person trampoline have been great fillers for off days.
After a year and a half of six days a week, I've cut back to 3-4 days a week to focus on recovery time and mass building for my upper chest.
I trend to eat more on days off, and eat less on exercise days for some reason, still working on my diet, lots of room for improvement.
Also the on-off semi-daily exercise routine is more difficult than a daily routine, at least to start with I find.
