Pretty exhausted today. Definitely lacking sleep and need to fix that...
Strength: Jerk
53 (3) - 73 (2) - 98(1)-108(1)-118 quit
All I have to say is AHHHHHHH!!!! So damn frustrating! I was looking forward to tackling the jerk 1RM and hoping to get around 145 today. But that hand apparently wasn't dealt to me. I took some time before the wod to do a little extra stretching and mobility with my shoulders, thinking I should warm them up for some heavy lifts overhead. That was apparently the worst thing I could've done to my shoulders. I think I really jinxed myself last week by saying I was finally starting to enjoy the Jerk and felt comfortable with them...fuck. My warm up set at 53 I started to feel pinching in BOTH my shoulders, normally it's the right one, so this was really upsetting. Did a couple at 73, still there. Did my first rep at 98, yep still there. Grabbed the ball and started rolling on it hoping that would help. Did 108....still there. Racked 118, dip slight drive and just dropped it. Felt the pinching and decided it wasn't worth it. I have absolutely no idea where this came from. I haven't had this shoulder issue for MONTHS!!!! The only thing we could think of is that extra stretching and mobility I did beforehand. The last few times where we've done Jerk as the strength at heavy weights, I felt great, no pinching, nothing. Sunday I did a wod with 15 jerks at 95 and did extras after and they felt fine. So I'm convincing myself that I over stretched my shoulders and that I've just been used to them being tighter when I lift, and that's why the pinching started. Fingers crossed, that's all it was...since the Open starts in 23 days, that's definitely not what I need...
WOD:
4 Rounds:
20 jumping lunges
10 Pull-ups
4:28
My quads were still rocked from yesterday so the jumping lunges were rough, especially the third round. Pull-ups felt great, which is awesome considering my shoulder. But if I remember correctly, it's only the Jerk that hurts my shoulder when this happens...Chris said my pull-ups looked great and were the best he's seen me do, so I guess the dead hangs are helping! Overall, good wod, hoping to get more pull-ups strung together again.
