Re: The Shed 'O Pain
 

@Tim, just watched the slo-mo bar muscle up. That's pretty cool. It was interesting how you were pulling to your waist and everyone who doesn't have a bar muscle up is pulling to their chest.

Tuesday July 28, 2015

Walked 1.5 miles.
Held a goblet squat, no pain.
Held a front plank, no pain.
Held a side plank with left hand down, meh...
Held a side plank with right hand down, this was uncomfortable
Did 10 pushups, no problem
Did 3 pullups, this was really awkward and off balance and pulling something in my rib cage (probably from having walked funny and been out of balance for months) so I stopped at 3 pullups.
Did 0 sit ups, the muscles just wouldn't fire to move me, so I stopped.
Did strict presses from the rack, 5x35, 5x45, 5x75

Overall, a very encouraging day experimenting with what works and what doesn't work. Am going to have to find some way to exercise the abs and to get the muscles to fire so that I can do a situp some day. Also, likely have to hang from the bar until my ribcage gets evened out before doing anymore pullups.

@Tim, the muscle up on the can/can't video looked effortless.

Thursday July 30, 2015

Coached basketball for an hour.
Rode my bike 1 mile, did some planks and less than body weight movements (e.g., ring rows, green band dips) and very light weights (e.g., 35# push presses), rode my bike another mile.

Feeling a little better every day. This is a dangerous time b/c I could easily do too much and get set back several months...

Re: The Shed 'O Pain
 

Climbed at Hinckley with Don, Kenny, and Kerry. Got up all three Banana routes. Had to make up a new finish for the left version. Wet.
I did a little mobility work later in the Shed.
