Weird dream last night…in it was someone I had not seen since the summer of 1977…first semester roommate …and it involved Notre Dame, ND football, etc. And yes..COVID.
Weights: well, later in the day, my 60 lb. behemoth trap bar came. Now to use it with my 55 lb bumper plates..170 min.
Yes, it is rackable, sturdier and has higher handles. But I pledge to learn to lift with these high handles first PRIOR to seeing what I can do.
Glute pain: felt it in the store but a “twisted hip” stretch seemed to help. I neglected my stretches this morning in favor of shoulders.
The workout itself: I’ll list the rehab I can remember:
pull ups: 10 singles, 10, 10, 10 singles (with pause), 5, 5, 5 chins, 5 chins. (60 reps) recovery: hip hikes, various shoulder band exercises.
push ups: 25, 25, 20 with legs elevated. Recovery: sets of moving spinal balance (keep the core steady), chest taps. (5, 8)
deadlifts: 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 10 x 224 (one bad rep on the final set…rep 5 or 6)
high handle: 2 sets of 5 x 244, trying to make it “squat like”; the second set felt good.
stretch; 30:30 bike (10 fake miles), roll on a baseball.
