Tried changing exercises on back workout due to pain in inner elbow (potential medial epicondylitis), thought the mag bar would help but needed to wear my SBD sleeve after the first set so this may not be an alternative exercise. Supinated lat pulldown was ok, seated v bar row caused a bit of discomfort but this I assume could be expected as mag bar caused pain immediately. Seal rows were fine.

Concentration curls is also an exercise I may have to drop as this causes significant pain. Hammer curls were fine

Going to work on elbow with my theragun tonight
