[B]REST DAY[/B]:yawn:

[B][COLOR="red"]20170314[/COLOR][/B]

I saw my therapist this morning and she was pleased with the ROM that I've regained since our last follow up!!:kicking0: She, however, was not pleased with my "lack of strength..." :rofl:
We discussed new protocols and what to expect in the upcoming sessions. I also told her that my lats seemed super tight, and she agreed. She wrote in some stretching to my new protocols, and I found a really useful video to help along this next recovery phase.

This version of the good morning was a nice change of pace with standard movements. I couldn't locate a video, so here is a description:

[I]Hold a weight with both hands behind your back, arms straight and shoulders back. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees straight but not locked, focus forward.

Bend forward by hinging at the hip, lowering your upper body as far as you can while keeping your spine straight. Rise slowly to the start and repeat right away.[/I]

Have to regain some of my strength....I'm still reluctant to do back squats due to the angle at which my shoulder would be in, so I'll stick to front squats for a while longer.
I felt good until the last set. 235# is the heaviest that I've been since injuring my shoulder back in June, and my rep scheme pushed me a bit more.

Post WOD run for speed. I only did a mile. First half was 85% for 2:30, then jogged for 1:30. Rested 30 seconds and went in reverse on the return trip.

40 Minute AMRAP
400m Power Walk
20 KBS 1.5 Pood
20 Walking Goblet Lunges
20 Butterfly Sit Ups
Rest 1 Minute

5 rounds+walk

Takeaways for today was hip drive and core. Participants didn't think that the power walk would be challenging enough until they hit the third round or so...;)
As a trainer, I learned to use different cues to better convey instructions. It took one of my usuals to bring this to light since she has been stumped by KBS. Simple change from "hinge at hips" to "initiate with hips" got her on track.

[B]Circuit Training[/B]
I replicated the circuit that I had for class but used a few different movements.
40 minute clock with 20 reps each and 10 DUs between ( No Measure)
Assisted Pull Ups (scaled to ring rows the last 10 minutes)
Back Squat 135#
Push Ups
RDL 55#
Rows 55#
Rest 3 Minutes

No mobility today....I'm going to actually rest my shoulder from drills and see how it feels in the a.m.
