[quote=Jenna Rettenmayer;505998]steve,

I hope you get to feeling better soon.

I posted some stuff on POSE in my log....

Doing much better since morning. Stretched the back out and am going to hit the foam later.....

Got the POSE info! Thanks!

Playing catch up, the kids have been sick with some sort of stomach flu. Lots of cleaning and laundry WODs here. :D

Nice work this week! I'll give you a call Friday, probably morningish.

hi stephen

stretch out your glutes and hamstrings, sometimes those things get wound up tight after a heavy thruster workout... that might help with the back pain a bit....

good effort on the concept 2... 20spm but still cranking out 2:00 splits....

So sorry the bug is going around at your place. Not fun with kidlings involved. Fully understand the GTG laundry thing...:(

Try the cell first - - leaving in a few to take daughter to D-Land for her B-day. If I don't answer, we're in a "no service" area......the joys of technology in the boonies. I'm good with the voice mail tho and will call back as soon as I have SVC.

Thanks, Carter! I'm luckier than most, I guess....very little, if any DOMS. Got the foam roller close at hand, tho.

Thanks about the C-2. Love using it!

[/B]Woke up with a [B]really [/B]sore back - - don't know why, but WO plans for today obviously changed.....

[B]Warm-up:
Stationary Cycling [/B]10:00 / L3 / 100 RPM / 2.6 mi / HR 100
[B]CFWU X 3, [/B]minus GHD Situps and back extensions. Arm circles, shoulder dislocates, trunk rotations and body circles included. Still didn't help back.....

[B]WOD:
[/B]Had planned on "Elizabeth". Changed to.....
[B]Clean Practice Session.
PVC cleans - - [/B]Focused on hip drive and form
[B]Burgener Warm-up (PVC)
45# bar - - 15 X 1. [/B]Again, focus on form and hip drive. [B]5 X 3 [/B]interspersed through heavier lifts to "remind me" of form.
[B]95# X 5 X 5. [/B]Didn't use any higher weight so I'd concentrate on form. There were several times the bar just flew up and I got under it really easily.....
This was the best experience I've yet had with cleans. Gotta keep at it.

[B]2K Row.[/B] Concentrated on leg drive.
[B]First 500m @ 20 - 22 SPM. Avg 2:02 - 2:05 / 500m. Got 1:59 once!
Remaining 1500m, moderate row. Avg 26 SPM.
Time: 8:45.[/B] Average over 2K - - 2:11+ /500m.

Called it good for today. Kinda BLAH, but just had this feeling that if I'd pushed, I might have injured myself. :(
[/I][/QUOTE]

Nice stuff Stephen! Great work on those cleans! That is great to work on the form. Berfore you know it you'll be throwing up (no, not vomiting!) higher and higher #'s!! or should I say pulling up?
Blah days suck but you used it to work on form and what better thing to do when you don't feel like pushing hard?!
nice job!:D

After the "Kilo" WOD and the Thrusters i don't blame your back for being sore! Nice work! :highfive:

Just curious, for the cleans are you doing power cleans or full squat cleans?

Hey Keith,

Thanks for the great words of encouragement. Love the "throwing up" comment........

I'm not a very good patient when I get hurt, sick, or just tweak something.....would rather do something constructive.

Thanks, Helen!

I don't think the back was sore due to DOMS. Tried stretching really carefully the other evening and heard/felt the lower left back/hip "pop" as it often does (sometimes I can't get it to, though and it'll hurt for a while). Feels much better now.

As for the cleans, I believe I was working on full squat cleans (from the floor). I'm trying to develop power right from the ground up and well.........just develop [I][B]anything[/B][/I] close to the correct form.

[I][B]MONDAY 02022009

[/B]Returned from four days of traveling and "doing" Disneyland. My intention was to work out today, but my stomach is still doing flip-flops from all the food I took in the past days. I ate pretty sensibly......just too much.

No excuses tomorrow, though.

Had a little fun while at Disneyland. The "barrier" bars were just the right height and distance apart inside the "Blue Ribbon Bakery."
