Oh, I just noticed a typo in my swim post. My time was 19:37, not 19:36.

Finally got the muscleups! Squats felt smooth, bench felt smooth, tbar rows felt smooth, but I'm happier about my muscleup by a long shot.

Hey Anthony, looking good man.
Always nice to get your first MU.
What height and weight are you at ?

Anthony Bainbridge · 12-13-2005, 03:43 AM

Thanks Bert, it felt really good to finally land it (even though it was ugly!). I'm a towering 5'7 at 183lbs. :-)

Oh, Judo was cancelled last night, so I took a forced rest day.}

Overall
Ehn. Not my greatest day. I was really stiff and achey, tendons bothering me, etc. I really think I'm fighting off the flu at this point. On the last set of bench I re-racked after the first rep because of my left tendon, so out of principle I'll stay at 270 next week. Tomorrow I plan to rearrange all the plates in the gym for some light GPP work and then a mile run. I haven't ran since I was a kid, so this should be quite interesting. Other than that, lots of rest and fluid for the weekend so I can come back strong next week.

Anthony Bainbridge · 12-17-2005, 12:16 PM

Saturday, December 17, 2005 - GPP

Training
Bike 2 minutes @ 20kmh

Organize all the plates in the gym: 20-30 minutes.

Move all dumbbells from 75 to 120 (5lbs increments) to one end of the rack and then back. The rack is about 20-25 feet long, so approximately 3900lbs moved for 400-500 feet. Time was around 15 minutes?

Stretching.

Run 5 minutes at 6mph (0.5 miles)

Walk 5 minutes at 3mph (0.25 miles)

Overall
Organizing the plates/dumbbells was kind of boring. I doubt we'll do it again. The plan was to run 1 mile, but as predicted, my shins caught on fire. This was probably the 3rd worst case of shin splints I've ever had. After the 0.5 mile run, I stopped and tried to stretch, but it just wasn't happening. Once the burning pain went away and I could take a few steps, I decided to try walking. Wasn't happening either. So ... I'm in quite a bit of pain right now and I'm ****ed off that this was the limiting factor ... but I guess I have to deal with it. I'll start walking 1 mile after every workout and gradually build up my speed. If anyone has any suggestions to stop the shin splints from happening, I'm all ears.

Ian Holmes · 12-17-2005, 02:33 PM

Anthony if you do a quick search on shin splints there have been a number of solutions posted in the last few months. The number one solution that I know of is getting rid of the muscle imbalance causing them... but until then... alternate walking on just your heels with walking on just your toes.

Anthony Bainbridge · 12-17-2005, 03:30 PM

Thanks Ian. I did a search on google and I found a decent article about prevention (since most of what I read is about treatment). Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think? http://www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/...-treatment.htm

paul arestan · 12-18-2005, 12:04 AM

There is a lot of high impact in squash, probably more than 2 to 3 times your body weight every time you hit the ground. If you are not used to it, it's normal it hurts.
Sometimes, it's just a question of running on soft surface and getting a new pair of shoes with good cushioning.
Good luck
