Man of Honour
Arm wrestling is for chumps, grab another party goer and squat them to assert your alpha dog status.
Gains quite a crowd at a festival bar.

The Wizard of Wolls: Follow the yellow brick gains

The guy was gunning for me as it was, I was actually trying to stay out the lime light. Chucking out things like "I don't arm wrestle", "I only lift to look good", "im not as strong as I look", "I work in IT" - none of it worked

Fixed it for you
I only lost one all night, which was a left armed wrestle - so clearly doesn't count
Day two of no lifting, as these arm wrestles have made all kinds of arm muscle damage gains.
I remember almost exactly this... But it was my brothers who wanted to arm wrestle: goodbye long head of biceps tendon.
Lots of leg isolation exercises, I guess...
My knees are just as bad at the moment 
keep meaning to stretch and foam roll, been doing a little bit of hamstring stretching as they are hella tight. I'll get there in the end I'm sure.
I feel your bicep tendon pain. I can't actually figure out exactly what it is causing the pain; base of tricep near elbow, outside side of forearm near elbow, inside part of bicep close to elbow.
Some tightness in the deltoid too, stretching it produces some nice clicks so it's definitely caught up. Need the inflammation to die down a bit.

Trained chest on Sunday. Shouldn't have. Injury still there and persistently painful. Ouch.

I've trained twice this weekend and I didn't break my arm!!!!!
Chest - I kept this quite simple and short because I didn't want to push my elbow too much and blow it out.

The pull ups really aggravated my arm/elbow, so I thought the workout would be a failure. Switched to chins and it wasn't nearly as bad. Everything felt uncomfortable (bizarrely except for curls), but progress was made.

Good enough workout for a welcome home. This was a Saturday session at 4pm, which is far from when I'm used to training, so didn't expect to hit my usual numbers.

Went and trained some legs today, which is unusual considering as we all know, I don't train legs. Went well enough though and dare I say, I enjoyed it!

And this is why you don't skip leg day, boys. Day two of DOMS and I'm walking around like a zombie playing Pokemon Go

Some serious leg press action there... I recently discovered a hack squat machine at work which is interesting but I didn't get much DOMS from it at all.
I might have to skip leg day again for that horror...
