One of my clients had a discussion with me - he reckoned that the whole person approach was working.  He's been on a concoction that I've devised (with some help from Mikki) - as well as making sure he was getting enough protein and sleep etc. All in all, a year later, he still thinks it's very beneficial. I thought I'd share with you the recipe today.  Please feel free to print it out and use it.

After docking (or tailing) it's pretty common to get some discomfort in the elbow, especially if you go above your capacity to load. Unfortunately, there are lots of reasons for that capacity to drop, including lack of sleep, poor health, progressive overload (we aren't Cinderella and don't reset at midnight), poor hydration and overall lack of strength and endurance for the task at hand.
