Easing Back In

June 26, 2008 · Filed Under Work Out of the Day 

Ah.

Was able to perform some slow, easy movements, allowing me to slowly come back to training. We’re talking light deadlifts, slow squats, minimal dead-hang pull-ups, push-ups, and plenty of stretching — and of course, more time in the damn pool swimming laps.

I really don’t like swimming laps and am glad to be healing.

WOD

one round of:

  • 20 deadlifts, 45 lbs
  • 12 squats
  • 3 dead-hang pullups (to eliminate any back-jarring)
  • 12 pushups
  • 12 overhead shoulder-stretches
  • 10 overhead presses, sloooow

Added some additional low-back stretching and 30 minutes of swimming. As much as I hate the lap swimming, I am interested in swimming in open water, point A to point B type-stuff.

Lesson of the day

Don’t take you physical disposition for granted. Nothing sucks worse than being injured when you are a hyper, energy-filled maniac who loves to train and get outdoors.

Think about this the next time you feel lazy and want to skip a workout – don’t do it – or, at the very least, do something, but don’t take it for granted. You’ll only feel worse later.
