Edamame has a dual purpose.

Day 36
Last night I had an awful night of sleep.  It took me about an hour to fall asleep and I kept waking up incredibly uncomfortable.  That is a formula for no morning workout.  I was actually awake when my first alarm went off, but ended up trying to sleep more and doing the workout later.  Since it was chest, shoulders, and triceps day there was a lot of strain on my elbows.  I injured both of my hyper-extended elbows in college which ended my cheerleading days and completely tore my left UCL.  While I was trying to complete the push-ups I noticed my left elbow start to give out and become very weak.  It was swollen and I didn't push myself as hard as I did last week to make sure I didn't injure it further.

Time for rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the elbow.  We have yet to purchase a real ice pack, but for now the frozen edamame package works great!  Healthy AND helpful.
