OPT Training Day 9 - Part 1

I've been nursing an aggravated tendon in my left elbow for about a week, it all started when I subbed Sumo-Deadlift High Pulls for 1 min rowing sprints. I thought that it had been getting better with plenty of stretching and hot packs but tonight I took a definite step in the wrong direction.

I started off as usual with a good warm-up and lots of stretching and began OPT's WOD of:

part 1:
A1. Hang Power Snatch @ 11X1; 2-3 x 6; rest 120 sec
note-drop weight to floor b/tr reps if needed
A2. Bench Press @ 30X0; 3,2,1,3,2,1; rest 120 sec
note-wave load; 2nd 3,2,1 is higher effort and loads than 1st 3,2,1
B. Dead Lift @ 11X1; 60% 1RM; 8 sets of 3; rest 45 sec
note-focus on speed on concentric
C1. Dips @ 30X0; 6,4,2; rest 90 sec
note-full depth
C2. GHD Raises @ 2020; 15 x 3; rest 90 sec
note-change hands to ensure you get all reps

It all started with the Hang Power Snatches, something about the grip and sudden jerking motion caused my elbow to tweak and feel really awful. After that the mood was lost on me and I tried to complete the Bench Press but really only half assed it. After that I decided that it really was in my best interest to rest up. Time to let the tendon rest.
