I found the video that youtube wouldn't allow to be shown.

Update
Well i haven't updated in a while, so i'm just going to pop this one in.
We have had some gorgeous days here in minnesota over the past 2 weeks, but for every good one, there has been snow and rain showers. This erratic weather is really annoying; we're in april and i can see snow outside my window! Crappy weather aside, I've been focusing on school, music, and baseball right now, while maintaining (or slightly improving upon) my strength. In my last update, i said that i would be joining the rugby team, but that didn't happen due to conflicts with baseball. Despite the lack of outdoor playing time, my skills have been coming around nicely, though i pushed a little too hard with my arm at first, my swing was crap (better now though) and i seemed to have lost my glove..hopefully i'll have it before my first game monday.
As far as my overall bodily health is concerned, things seem to be getting better; my wrists are consistently fine, i don't have to fear holding onto heavy things for a long time (though i did have a close call while buildering over spring break). My elbows have been improving, since i have drastically cut down the volume on all of my training, and am hardly doing pull ups or dips. Just for a change of pace, rows and pressing have taken their place for the time being, though i'm slowly building up what i can handle with pull ups. I've also been stretching a lot more, so my squat depth is getting better and better; i'm hoping to get a more upright olympic squat by summertime, but we'll see.
So right now, i'm trying to do lower volume training on a more frequent basis, and in the future i'm hoping to continue doing so (maybe after baseball season or between spring and summer leagues..?) at a higher intensity. I'm also hoping to begin some hand balancing and olympic lifting this summer, though it really depends on how my wrists are.
