Training again
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008Yesterday I decided to start lifting again. I’ve been running pretty much for a month now and I’m almost back to where I was before my surgery but still need a little more conditioning. I’m shooting for sub 1 minute 1/4 mile. Anyway, the physical therapist gave me a bunch of stretching exercises to do every day. You wouldnt believe how tight this is unless you’ve had a similar surgery. Imagine the tightest your arms have ever felt after the most grueling workout of your life them multiply it by about 10….seriously. So I’ve been doing that for about a month or so now and the flexibility is really coming back so I figured I’d test it out yesterday. I grabbed a barbell and went at it. Did about 20 full cleans, 20 shoulder presses and 20 push presses. Felt great! Granted it was only 45lbs but hell that’s 45 more pounds than I could lift last month and it will be 45 less pounds than I’ll be lifting next month! Well back to work….just thought I’d get that off my chest!
