I hit a 1 week goal & I think I pulled something

Thursday, July 24;

I wish I could express the amount of frustration I felt this morning and that I am feeling right now. I know that some how this most recent injury stems from the good ole' shoulder injury. If I didn't think it would hurt, I would hit something very hard.

I was doing 25 pullups for this morning's workout. For my first go on the bar, I decided I wanted to try to make one of my 1 week goals. I got 15 pullups in a row. I have done that since the injury, but it's my post injury max. I was happy to be able to get it, eventhough I had to hang on the bar a bit for a little recovery after my first 10 and then finish off the last 5. Now on to 18 pullups... or not.

After the pullups, I went for KB swings and box jumps. Surprisingly, the swings feel fine, but the box jumps hurt my shoulder. It's weird, but I get momentum from swinging my arms, and I think the jarring of jumping and landing really shocks my left shoulder and arm.

After the second run, I knew I didn't want to do more pullups again. I subbed in ring rows and those felt fine. Unfortunately, I knew something was wrong by the end of today's workout. It hurts to carry things with my left arm and certain movements cause so much pain that it literally takes my breath away. The good news is that the pain is not really in my shoulder. It is in the back of my arm, kind of where my tricep sits. Anytime I put my arm behind me it hurts. It's a sharp nasty little pain. Ouch! I guess it's back to going easy on the left arm. Sweet!
