Sucky Shoulders Round 2

Yesterday and today had a pretty similar feel to it. Fast busy morning, then a terribly slow afternoon. I’ve been working on this demo to impress the CEO’s over in Connecticut and boy are they picky. Oh well, hopefully it turns out the way we planned. Now I need to find more work to do. If I don’t have work, I spend time researching about mechanical engineering. I’m determined to find something I want to do, but it’s pretty hard and rather frustrating…

Anyway, yesterday was pretty much my most hated day at the gym. EVERYTHING was upper body work and with the way my shoulder has irritated me lately, I was not looking forward to it.

Strength: 3 Jerks on the 1:00 for 7:00 at 55% of 1RM – 35kg

I was hoping my right shoulder would eventually warm up during this, but it never happened. I’m contemplating getting some ART work done on that shoulder because I don’t think I’m going to be able to fix it on my own..

WOD: “JT”

21-15-9 reps of:

Handstand Push-ups (box)

Ring dips (purple band)

Push-ups

12:13

Like I said EVERYTHING was upper body. Normally I would do my HSPU in the bands because I feel as though I get a better range of motion that way, but due to the amount of people in the class and the amount of reps, I don’t think I would’ve been able to finish. Dips were better than the last time, but my push-ups were pretty weak. Shoulder didn’t feel too hot after this one, but I made it through. I never got tired, like heavy breathing tire during this one, just pure shoulder fatigue. Yuck.

So yesterday during my classes I warmed everyone up with some dynamic drills and then a 3:00 ab warm up. I got a couple comments that people liked it. And enjoyed switching it up a little. How did you guys feel about it? Should I keep doing that or no?
