A Post Op First

Tuesday, March 24;

After Jerry's suggestion about strengthening my arm muscles for pullups, I figured why waste time (brilliant), why not just go ahead and do pullups. A lot of them. Jerry had suggested using a band and working negatives. I heard the band part of the suggestion and thought.. negatives?? I'll do those after the workout. Today, instead of doing the situps that I had planned to do instead of pullups, I just went for pullups.

I was shocked. Absolutely shocked. I did 60 pullups with the band today. I had no remnants of that nasty stretch in my shoulder I had about a month ago. With the blue band and a new grip, I tackled those suckers. It felt really good. Actually the pullup didn't bother my shoulder at all. I'd say the pushups were more difficult for me. I do have a slight burn at the top of my bicep muscles, so I'm going to make tomorrow a pure leg workout. No arms.

I'm happy to have pullups back in my repertoire even if they are with a band!

WOD:
10 rounds for time
