Day: May 4, 2021

Fully vaccinated and all that…

Yoga class. I was awful…I’ve done some stretching but overall my body is too tight.

Swim: somewhat tender right shoulder but managed to mix drills and off strokes to get 1000 yards in 26 minutes or so. My zoomers died..ordered new short-blade fins.

This was my first swim since 2018 and I have not swam regularly since 2016.

This was my workout: 2 rounds of 50 free, fins: 3 of 25 drill, 25 free, 50 free (500) 3 sets of 25 free, 25 stroke (back or breast), then 200 alternating pull/free.

Other note: picked up my Chiefs tickets! My eyes teared up a little…

Last day

Ok, grading…lull, grading…

I changed my routine up and lifted today and will do yoga and swimming tomorrow. I haven’t swam since April, 2018, and that was after a long hiatus (2016). We shall see…won’t be pretty.

shoulder: some mild night pain. the routine: mostly pain-free.

pull ups: I did several sets of 5, singles, and included one “on the 10 second) set of 15.

push ups: 30, 30, 20, 20 went ok; got a pump.

I didn’t try bench; I did rows (3 sets of 10 x 134), curls (3 sets of 10 x 50) and several sets of shoulder presses with the multi-grip bar:

2 sets of 10 x 75, 1 set of 10 x 80 (last rep was shaky), and 10 x 65 close grip.
