Sunday, December 29, 2013

Rested for a few days and coach wants to ease back into training.  With the constant wear and tear from all the lifting and moving I do at work + the jerks and LC with the 32s, we are very cautious when a possible overuse issue starts to crop up.  Good news is that the left shoulder is feeling fine today, even after my session.  No tightness or soreness through any ROM.  Good times.

Warmup

OALC:
20 mins @ 24kg; 6 rpm (switch hands on the min)

L-seat Chins:
3x3

Stretched and done.

Woke to a fairly bad migraine.  Later in the afternoon.....

Warmup

LC:
1 min @ 2x32kg; 5 rpm (set stopped due to left front deltoid pain)
1 min @ 2x32kg; 5 rpm (set stopped due to left front deltoid pain)

Jump SQ:
100 reps @ 135 lbs in 02:45

Run:
2 miles in 13:42

Stretched and done.

Warmup felt great.  So I don't really no what the deal is with this delt pain.  The pain only occurs as the bells drop from the jerk back into the rack.  Probing with the fingers reveals some tenderness in the anterior deltoid leading into the left pec.  Left pec feels fine and no pain.  ROM is only affected if I try and pull my elbows past my hips towards my back or if I try and bring my elbows straight down as in the rack.

Warmup

LC:
4 mins @ 2x32kg; 5 rpm = 20 reps

Feeling a little run down so I called it.  Legs just felt rough.  Figured its better to get a little bit and try for a decent set tomorrow.
