Playing Catch Up

Tuesday, Aug. 5;

Sorry for being MIA for a few days! For those of you wondering, my new bed is still in my trunk. I've been a big old slacker this week. I've had some stuff going on that has just zapped me mentally, that has put a big old drain on me physically. I wasn't sleeping much last week or at the beginning of this week. This have evened out a bit (which is a good thing) and I have been able to relax. I'm slowly on my way back to getting some rest and becoming "normal" again.


I don't have much more to write about that, so I'll just list my workout and move on with my day.

Workup:
Clean practice: 15lb, 35lb, 55lb, 65lb

Workout:
5 rounds for time
12 Hang Power Clean (65lb)
24 Pushup (modified to knees)
48 Squat

Total time: 14:19


The time was great, but almost too fast. I can't figure how else I could have made this workout more difficult. I can't go much heavier for the cleans, because I'm nursing my shoulder. Maybe I could have pushed to do standard pushups, but the shoulder holds me back as well. I wonder what would happen if I wore a weight vest and did modified pushups. I could slowly go for heavier weight vests until I'm ready for standard pushups. The problem is that I know I can do the pushups, but after a bit they start to hurt my shoulder in a bad way (not a good muscle hurt). I want to take it easy and slowly work back up to a stronger, healthier shoulder. Maybe I'll just have to settle for a fast time and light weights. bummer.
