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...

Rest Day

Saturday August 1st, 2015
(Is it really August already?)

Lots of stretching and mobility work.
Then, actually did a WOD at the Shed 'o Pain!

Five sets of:
Against a two-minute running clock, complete:
KB Box to Overhead x 10 reps 10# (like a GTO, but the KB starts/stops on a box, instead of on the ground)
Box step Overs (12" box) holding 10#kb x 10 reps
Burpees (with box to help up and down) x Max reps
Rest 2 minutes between sets
3, 4, 5, 5.5, 7 burpees

then,

3-3-3-3-3-3-3 Shoulder Press

45-65-85-95-115-125-135(2)

[I]The row wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The shoulder presses went easy untill 125# when my right back started talking! I was surprised how easy 2 presses at 135# went. Then, I could REALLY FEEL my middle right back! :eek: Discretion was the better part of valor...
Any suggestions for strengthening my back?[/I]

@Cliff, the family that lifts together, well, I suppose, lifts together.
There's nothing like getting hot and sweaty together!

Tuesday August 4, 2015

Walked about 3 miles.
Mobility and stretching work.
Planks.
Experimented with the 11# bar on trying to split the right foot forward instead of the left. It's going to take some work but may save the left hip.

Experimented with some very light deadlifts (e.g., 100#).
Everything seemed to hold together.
One step at a time.

Walked for an hour around noon.

No stretching or mobility or "exercises".
A very casual day, only had 2 or 3 cramps when I stood up.
