Squat technique or chin-ups — chicken, egg, not sure which is the culprit.

But one of those, or maybe both, caused the arm pain. I did 1 chin-up today and it was enough to make things unhappy throughout the rest of the session. I don’t feel weak, but there is some serious discomfort. I got a better handle on it tho, as it’s more in the elbow area directly… like the ligaments and tendons right in that area, and then like the brachialis and the brachioradialis.

I dunno. I’ll keep an eye on things and see. I really don’t want to give up my pursuit of 10 in-a-row chin-ups.

Anyways, today then continued the 50% “deload” approach. So, it was what it was. Still lost weight: 224.
