Holy soreness, Batman. I woke up Monday morning feeling the effects of 12.3. Sore neck, sore shoulders, calves, triceps, lats... you name it, I'm sure it was sore. I contemplated taking a rest day, but then I also thought that maybe working out would loosen me up a bit.
Strength: Back Squat 8-6-4-4 (65%-75%-85%-90%)
8-123#, 6-143#, 4-162#, 4-171#
I just can't seem to get my hips loose. I've been stretching them every day and they are just so tight. It's really been affecting my squat depth too. humph. First 2 sets felt ok, not great, but better than the last 2. Second to last was heavy, and wasn't sure how I was going to get the last set. Frist 2 reps of the last set were good on depth, but the last 2 I didn't quite make it. Need to find something to get these hips loose..
WOD:
10:00 AMRAP
15 Wall Ball Shots (20/14)
10 Burpees
5 Clean and Jerks (135/95)
4 rounds + 1 wall ball
I went to do a warm up set with the bar and I didn't think this wod was going to happen. The 95# founds like 140# in the rack position. But I went after it anyway, in hopes that after the WB and burpees, my shoulders would be warmed up for the C&J.
All wall balls and burpees were unbroken. Didn't really struggle there. Well, the burpees weren't blazing, but just went through the motion.
Clean and Jerk. I've made a point in wods, to not rush this movement. To keep proper form and set up the entire time. So yes, these were slower and paced. But there's no need for a back or shoulder injury. Shoulders finally warmed up and most of the reps felt really good.
At first glance this wod didn't look bad, but once I was finished, I took back that statement. It was a good challenge, especially with the soreness from Sunday.
