Today

Went to gym but was soo busy so i did

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

of DL and BP

155 for DL and 75 for bench originally this workout calls for cleans but it was too busy at the Estep gym and I tried to go as fast as i can and i forgot that this is a suckfest, but its one of my favorites, i think i will up the dead lifts next time to 175, its supposed to be your body weight (mine is 157 right now) but i like the challenge on this one it really beats you up cause its heavy loads but as fast as you can of course without sacrificing form.

I gotta say i don't miss going to a regular gym i dread it evertime i go in there cause i can never get don't what i need or always sub something, or like today this dude kept throwing his towel on my bench and i was going back and forth, i got so mad i just took it and threw it and said I'm not done! rrrrrr I just wanted to throw it in his face.....lol

Squat clean

Well Ive been pretty pathetic the passed few days and haven't done much, some here and there at Estep for my shoulder but like a broken record I'm just in a funk.
Anyway went in for a quickie at CF before girls nap time and i decided i wanted to up my Squat clean cause i know i had more in me last time it was up.

Got to 115lbs thanks to Dymphna for reminding me about technique and that all it is sometimes, as i got heavier i kept shrugging it up but she reminded me that when the bar is at waist level that i should get under the bar then and it definitely made my life easier, I gotta remember to watch my technique instead of thinking how much weight there is.

Today and past days


Missed blogging the past few days just being busy at night here with the fam,

SUnday, BP 5x5

45,55,65,75,95
100x1,105,x1 did some treadmill work at estep

im stuck here and cant go further and its my nutrition (sucks ) and i know it just not doing anything about cause there a wall in front of me right now.

tuesday, did wod

squat clean wich im good at but ive lost so much strenght but not as much as i thought since the painkiller shot in my shoulder in kicking in i actually did

45,55,65,85,90 and i think i could have gone up cause it was easy and i had the motivation of this chick next too me at the estep gym doing the same thing, long story ask me about it when you see me

DL
135x3
155x3
175x3
195x3
225x3
then for some reason i jumped to 250 my old pr thinking i would get 260 and this is were i lost my strenght in all my lifts all others are fine by few pounds but i just couldnt get 250 up
i didnt try 235 or 245 cause i just got depressed about it not going up and im not gonna push it right now.

Today just an old CFE

10 intervals of row 250 meters however long it takes me to row 250 rest x5 but i was only resting 2min.....i was rowing 250 in 55 to 60seconds i would have needed someone next to me today to do yesterdays cfe, level 10

Oh yesterday was 1 week after getting my shot and Doc said week one shoulder will feel great and week 2 it will feel amazing and i gotta say i feel like i have a bionic shoulder but im still staying away from anything overhead.

30sec on 30 off, 30 sec on 25 off, 30 sec on 20 off, 30 sec on 15 off, 30 sec on 10 off 30 sec on 5 off, 30 sec on Rest!

did get my numbers down

Yesterday i did another CFE from awhile back

Im starting to slowly feel that burn to wanna work harder but for some reason i cant get my nutrition in check, i know exactly what i be doing for nutrition and what has worked for me tremendesly in the past but i cant get out my funk right now.

Yesterday's DL

7x1

135,155,185,205,225,245 (F)

I dont know if its cause im so sore from Cindy but i couldnt get that 245 it felt like i had it and i just let go i didnt even wanna try again and sometimes the second or third try helps i guess im just try to be precautious, but im happy cause my strenght hasnt dramatically decreased at all, my old PR is 250 and I plan on getting 275 before the summer begins.

Was nice to see Tun and the amazing progress she has made, and Tun im envious of the size youve put on in the upper body and your form is perfect, it gives me that motivation i need.

Oh i had brooke with me there and it was late, now i remember why i dont bring the kiddos there anymore, on top of being a crank ball she walked right into a bar and she even got warned and looked right at it like it was made of candy. rrrrrrrrr

will i ever find a balance?

CINDY

as many rounds in 20min of:

5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats

I got 10 rounds and 5 pull ups

very disappointing to me but i keep telling myself I'm going ease into it slow and I kinda did, i used 2 bands for the pull ups which made it extremely easy but it still busted up my shoulder, when i got there i was trying a few kips and i can do them well but it just dint feel right, feels like I'm gonna dislocate it, very frustrating because i hate to say i used bands but that what i should be doing, squats were easy but overall my shoulders were rattling and I'm in serious pain, push ups are my strong point, i can usual knock out 20-30 no problem and now 5-10 horrible for me because when i bring my chest to the floor and push back up my right shoulder is almost gonna give out on me.
As for pull ups well I'm gonna have to stop those and i mean completely till I don't feel a thing its to the point where I'm scared to workout after feeling so much pain overtime. I will still use bands maybe 3 to take away most resistance just to keep a little muscle memory and I'm not a small women so its not the best idea for me to be throwing myself up there with weak shoulders.....I was hard, Ive been concentrating on so much muscular strenght that my cardio sucks. Don't think i could have done it without Dymphna there and others too, helps me finish.

Yesterday started with SP got to 80 and really didn't think I'd get pass 65 with my shoulders being so messed up and as much as it hurt I'm happy to say I don't have too worry about trying to work back up to my old numbers didn't get too finish.

Today I worked on bench and did

50,60,70,80,90. 5x5
These were done with dumbells so was harder to work on balance

95x1 100x1 105x1

This was hard because my shoulder are in serious pain but almost up too 115 I think that's my old of gotta go look

Work on my therapy shoulder routine

Did some lower back work also

DL

Went in very late tonight, apparently I'm not the only crazy one.

Lots of stretching always for me now during the day and i hated that i rushed tonight but it was late.

DL
7x3

115,125,135,155,165,185,200

I was really tempted go heavier and finish in the 240 range but i promised myself slow and steady.

Definitely felt like it was easy but that's a good thing.
I definitely miss that feeling like you wanna throw up and i say that because you all know how good you feel when that passes, i saw Eric tonight working on his WOD and he was in a suck fest.
Boy do i miss that.

Shoulder update

So I finally got to see the sports medicine therapist and I gotta say he was great, we went threw different moves that were very painful to narrow down where exactly that nasty tear in my rotator cuff is and he gave me a shot to numb that area to see what i was capable of with no pain, the bad thing about this shot was that he said it will wear off in about 4hours and will be very painful because of going threw muscle tissue and it was and still is, the good new is that this week till next Tuesday i have specific exercise that i have to do 3sets of 6 to 8 reps no more and the last three reps need to be challenging, this is all threw the pain, i have the pain meds my regular doc gave me but all the do is make me a raging B*#$% and just deal with it, oh and they knock me out. Still taking anti inflammatory. SO after many x-rays on the spot and him looking at them, next week i will come back for a couple of Steroid shots, which will completely take any pain away and all the fluids from the swelling will disappear, this shot will last about 5 weeks and 3 to 4 days after the shot is when i have to hit it hard, basically i have to rebuild new muscle tissue in my shoulder. I asked what happens when the steroids wear off and he said that i will get one more shot to be safe and he will take more x-rays in the mean time, its was really hard to get to Major Jarvis but it was worth it i never complain about pain and this has been the worst ever so far, other than birth, id rather do MURPH 4 times a week than deal with this pain in my shoulder.

Yesterday I did back squat with my hubby at Estep

5x5

95,105,115,125,135

stretching before was more than a workout my approach to that now is very different, I'm a little frustrated i wont be going as heavy but that's OK I'm not looking for time anymore I'm more interested in the form and intensity.

Monday, February 2, 2009

I had no Internet for so long and finally got it back but i got so used to not using it, that i haven't been blogging.
Its old news that awhile back i hurt my shoulder and ignored it for months, which resulted in a minor tear in my rotator cuff which is was sooo painful and still not listen to the pros waited 2 weeks the pain slowed down and went to do a WOD not too long ago with kips and now bot shoulders are messed up but Ive literally haven't been doing anything just trying to heal it, on top of all that, I hurt my lower back a couple of weeks ago again from ignoring a minor pain, got so bad where my doc gave me some powerful pain meds and still didn't do anything, so finally 1 week ago I got 3 shots, 2 steroid and one relaxer and that finally got the healing process going, but I was told to not do anything crazy but slow stretching, I'm anxiou to get back to it but I gotta wait till I go to the Sports Medicine therapy tomorrow and see what they gonna have me do.

When i do get back in I'm definitely looking forward to my heavy lifting, its in my blood since I was young but ill definitely be doing more WOD, but not heavy for a few months, baby steps and I'm gonna accept that even if i think i can do more and I'm gonna start off with doing my pull ups with bands to ease in, I can kip but its the worst thing for the shoulder right now.

I here all the ladies are trying to work on there back squat and well it will be awhile for me to climb back up there, but nobody will get past my 195 before I do hahahahaha.

I definitely glad to see everyones gains and new faces, i stopped in tonight at CFC and was nice to hang out. I watched Dymphna get threw her workout and she rocked. Well see more of you all soon hopefully, but I think I'm still gonna be part of the night crowd its just good for me.

I have the worse spelling.
