Day 9
I feel refreshed. I am close to the end and I am getting impatient with my “rehab” weights. The soreness is gone for the most part other than now my abs are painful after much abdominal work during bootcamp last night. It was swimming day with my daughter today so we went to the pool and she ended up in bed around 7 after progressing a little with the head dunking. She hates to have her head under the water, but at least now she isn’t crying when it happens and she isn’t asking to go to the toilet every 5 minutes either.
So today I decided that I would take to the garage again and increase my weights on the Olympic lifts. I stacked the bar with 95 and then 135 lbs, happy to get back to my pre-back issue weight. I was careful with the reps though, I did a total of 140 reps with the various weights and only 40 total Clean and Clean and Press. Nevertheless, I felt much better, although slightly aware of being close to the line once again. The workout was only about 40 minutes but I really don’t like doing late workouts like that, my tendency is to not warm up or cool down enough and therefore to end up more sore than I should be. I need a warmup routine!
The scheduled end.
We did a bodyweight class for bootcamp and due to time constraints at work I had to repeat a workout from our past. However, with one injured and one lazy participant, it was never going to be a landmark class… Â It happened like this:
