Getting on with the MCL tear

I'd like to say that the MCL tear isn't impacting my training, but that would be a lie. I'm off Sambo, which I don't like one bit. I'm also cautious about the things I do. I haven't rowed. Forget about squats and burpees. I have been able to continue with kettlebell swings and overhead pressing hasn't been impacted too much. The pull-up project hasn't suffered.

8-22-11
-10x10 bw pull-ups w/ off-set negs

Started off the week with a lot of pull-ups. I've done this many before (100 burpees and pull-ups) but the off-set negs set these apart.

8-23-11
-200 kb swings
-2x10 heavy db push press, 2x10 light db OHP

I started mixing up the grips, doubles as well as singles on the swings. With the singles, I place my thumb over my index finger so as not to fatigue the grip and send the kb soaring.

8-24-11
-20 bw pull-ups
-20x1 weighted pull-ups (40.8 kgs)

8-25-11
-200 kb swings
-2x10 heavy db push press, 2x10 light db OHP

8-26-11
-5x5 weighted chin-ups (24 kgs)
-3x10 bw pull-ups on the Rock Rings w/off-set negs
-100 kb swings
-3x10 kneeling roll-outs w/10 secs holds/rep

Didn't have 200 kb swings in me today. I'm pleased the 5x5 chin-ups with my KB felt easier than previous workouts. I'll try doubles with 40.8 kgs next time. I stuck with kneeling roll-outs as I wasn't sure how the MCL tear would deal with my kneeling to standing variation.
