By summer time last year I was pretty good at getting right back to the gym after a games...well...Monday....just didn't happen. I am STILL working on this stinking cold which I have now passed on to Vivi...sorry kiddo~
Tuesday I got my butt to the gym and decided to do two lifts instead of the one that was scheduled.
Back Squats:
3x5
135, fine easy blah
185, ok...snotty, blah
205, sigh why does this feel heavy?
3x3
235, Did BJ turn on the floor magnets again? I decided I was tired or lazy maybe, but I decided to stay at this weight for all of the sets....
Clean & Jerks:
3x3
I am still working on cleaning up form on these so I went light...concentrating on having an active back. I know if I can get this into muscle memory it will mean bigger lifts and hopefully better throwing form too.
55, 65, 75
Then I did my box jump thinggy and I tried a drill that one of the throwers showed me for WFD...I doubt I did it right, but there it is.
The next day? My neck was so bad I could barely move by the end of the day....I vacillated between tears of pain and just rage. I head over to the doc to pick up my prescription for my heart crap and I ask about an appointment for an adjustment. She has worked on my neck before and has brought me to a whole new place with it. The woman at the desk says...July.
What? Ok doesn't she have anything set aside for "emergencies"?
No...
Um I am in a lot of pain...do you have a call list in case you have a cancellation?
We don't. Just call occasionally to see if someone cancelled.
So I get in my car...pissed...Just call? Really? No list?
A shame really, her work is good...I will make a series of appointments, but I really can't describe the shape the neck it in right now. Ah...Paul, let's see if I can get into Paul. I am reticent to call for a couple reasons...He is booked lately, it can hurt to work with him, and frankly, sometimes he yells at me and I sorta can't deal with that right now. I just make the fucking call....he calls me back and miracle of miracles he had an appointment for me on Monday.
Thursday:
Sheaf work, Hammer winds....(these hurt my stupid ass neck) and then I have added this thing I saw on strong and far. It's a stone throwing drill where you have one foot up on a box to help with the power coming from your back leg....kinda cool.
Hang Cleans:
4x3
35~75~95~115
These were ok...I paused in the position over the knee, taking care to engage my lazy back...
When I was done...I had another freaking tachy event...I just stayed on the floor...I was dizzy and IRRITATED.
I had a meeting to go to after the gym and the heart just kept on marching along without my permission. I finally felt better about an hour later...but I am worn the hell out today from it and yeah...the clean & jerks aggravated my neck. Not nearly as bad as I was on Wednesday....
I get to see Paul Monday and I am hopeful that we can get this stinking thing back in place. In the mean time I am still too freaked out to do the regular workouts at the gym, by not doing them I am feeling less and less able to do them.
The gym is moving locations this weekend so I think when that is done, I need to really talk to BJ about how to get back into this more and how to structure what I do for the rest of the summer...just gotta get back up.
