Comments:
Left elbow still bothersome. Did a lot of band work for upper body which helped and on KB presses did not close my fist and did each rep extremely slow with lots of tension (flexed arm and shoulder extremely hard all the way up and all the way down). This eliminated pain entirely. As soon as I closed my fist around kettlebell pain came. Pushups were done with lots of tension and flexed hard through lats. This worked really well.
