Got Elbow Pain? Try This To Fix It.

Several years ago I strained my elbow pretty badly doing some power cleans. It was the inside of the elbow, on the medial epicondyle, which is also know as golfer's elbow (tennis elbow is on the outside of the elbow). So I took some time off, rehabbed it as best I could, and after a while it felt pretty good. As you can imagine, that wasn't the only time it's happened. I've re-aggravated it a few times over the years. I did it most recently when we got the new competition kettlebells at Athens Fitness and Mixed Martial Arts because I went a little overboard playing with them. Except this time, taking time off didn't really help. Neither did the handful of rehab exercises I've used over the years. So I started looking around online. And while videos for hip, shoulder, and ankle rehab are everywhere you look, there's not too much out there for fixing elbows.

So I checked to see if Diesel Crew had any suggestions. As it turns out, Jedd Johnson (one of their members), had just put out a product with rehab specialist Rick Kaselj that specifically addresses both types of elbow pain. So I spent the $27 for the ebook and video. Best money I've ever spent. Rick tells you how to fix the problem once it's occurred, and Jedd tells you how to keep it from happening again. I don't really recommend too many products, but if you're dealing with elbow pain, this one is a winner. You can buy a copy by clicking the link below:

There's More To Life (and Athens Fitness & MMA) Than Just Kettlebells

I know that I talk a lot about kettlebells. They're a great fitness tool, and I really believe in them. They're simple, fast, and efficient. If I could only have one piece of fitness equipment for the rest of my life, I'd probably choose a kettlebell. But at the end of the day, a kettlebell is just that, a fitness tool. And it's only one piece of the fitness puzzle. Fortunately, at Athens Fitness and Mixed Martial Arts we've got a lot more than just kettlebells.
