Loosey Goosey and Bloody Maria

     I'm still going slow and "taking it easy" but I tagged along with Frank to the gym today He worked on shoulders, but I just did some KB work and light pressing. Here's what got done:

••••••••••

COYOTE KB WORKOUT:

35lb bell. I substituted gorilla rows for the pushups because the pushups were bothering my shoulder. So the circuit looked like this:

15 swings

5 goblet squats

5 gorilla rows (ea. side)

I only did 10 rounds today and took me about 30 minutes.

CABLE LATERAL RAISES:

I had to do different weights on each side to keep the pain manageable.

(5lb x15 right side, 10lb x5 left side) 3x

SINGLE ARM LAT PULLDOWN:

30lb x12 ea. side

40lb x12 ea. side

50lb x8 ea. side

CONVERGING CHEST PRESS:

30lb x15

(35lb x10) 2x

••••••••••

     And that's all she wrote. I feel like a chump only doing a little but like I said, I'm trying to listen to my body. I was disappointed that I couldn't do the pushups today, but I didn't want to try and just push through it and then screw myself up even more. I think it's on the mend so I want to give it time to really heal. Keeping my shoulder tight to me and using neutral, narrow grip gives much less strain and pain. Anything wide, with a deep stretch is a definite no-go. And absolutely no heavy weight for now; baby weights only. 

     Other than that, It was a good conditioning session and I surely sweat some toxins out. I think the gym is having some sort of issue with their AC units so it gets a wee bit warm in there. Then I came home and did all of my watering for the veggies so I got a little bonus workout. I can't just stop moving - that ends up causing more issues than staying mobile and loose. 

     Now that all of my "work" is done, I can relax, enjoy the summer heat and get some painting projects done. I believe a Bloody Maria is also in order.
