Another enforced rest day.
Am going to go to the Cavs/Warriors NBA Finals game IV tonight.
Hope I'm able to sit through the whole thing....

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

JT - Hang in there and get well. Like Cliff, your successes are an inspiration to me.

Have been in a real funk over my shoulder. And have been traveling so workouts have not been as regular or as focused as they should.

6/10
WU: Row 1 km; shoulder rehab
Workout:
Deadlifts 65, 75, 85 x15
Goblet squats 35, 45, 55 x15
Wall pushups x15x3
DB rows (L) 52 x12x3/ (R) 30, 35, 40 x12
KB press (L) 25, 35, 35 x12
Lat pulls 35, 45, 55 x15

6/11
2+ hours of pushing and pulling the brush cutter around the yard
Row 1km
Shoulder rehab; shoulder very sore. Either the new exercises at physical therapy fired it up or yesterday's workout was too much.

More doctors, more tests, more pain...

No training. Not even any walking.

This sucks.

JT - I had good luck with knowledgeable physical therapists even when the ortho could not help. His answer was, "you're getting older and you just have to change your activities." I asked for a physical therapy consult and my upper body PT got me to a 50% improvement over previous overhead press PR after the ortho told me I needed to stop doing overhead presses. :thanx: My back PT got me a big reduction in back and hip pain. I can ask them if one of them knows a good one in your area. Let me know.

WU: Row 1km; shoulder rehab exercises
Workout:
Deadlifts 65, 85, 95 X15
Goblet squats 45 X15
KB press (L) 25, 35, 35 X12
Lat pulls 45, 55, 65 X15
Wall pushups X15X3
DB rows (L) 52 X12X3/ (R) 40 X12X3

Hammies were screaming after the first set of goblet squats so I opted to call it a day. I'm guessing that means I activated them appropriately during the deadlifts. ;)

6/13 Rest Day

OHV trail maintenance with the local Forest Service. 3+ hours of digging, raking, carrying logs and laying erosion matting. A great day outside.

Sunday June 14, 2015

Hospitalized with hip/back issue.

X-rays were gruesome.

I have permission from the doctor to say "ouch".

OUCH:ranting2:

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
