Tuesday April 19 – Day 87
My trainer has great faith in me and my abilities with these workouts. He tells me he knows I can do it (see yesterday’s post) when I question stuff.
I texted him this morning for a workout and I didn’t hear from him all day, so I prepared a workout for myself, came up with some stuff and was ready to kick my butt. And then at 3:56, I got a text from him. Uh oh. We know what that means! It’s going to be ugly!
5 stair runs
21-15-9
deadlifts and burpees
5 stair runs
GAH! It was just as ugly to do it as it is to read it. Trust me!
I scaled down the weight of the deadlifts. I normally do 90, but scaled it down to 65 to give my shoulder a little less to do so I can work my way back up to the 90 without pain or discomfort.
I was really nervous. It’s been three weeks since I’ve done any kind of lifting or weight bearing exercises. He obviously believed I could do this and that my shoulder was ready.
The deadlifts were absolutely NO problem. I didn’t feel any discomfort or pain. The burpees, on the other hand, gave me fits. It was actually the push up part of the burpee that felt funky. But I did all but the last 4 burpees. I even did the second set of 5 stair runs.
I am now icing my shoulder/neck area cause it was pretty sore when I got home and I’m icing my lower back where I usually get sore from the deadlifts.
Life is good.
