Easing Back In
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.
