Event Training! Finally!

Saturday morning we put on our stretchy pants for the first time (for me) since June 4th! we did 3 passes light farmer's walk, log overhead and tire :)

My shoulder felt/feels pretty good, it doesn't like the switch from pull to press on log, but everything else felt pretty good.

I am considering a competition on my birthday, August 6th, just for fun but I am not sure shoulder is ready yet and they will only ad a women's division if 3 women register this week. Decisions decisions.

Sunday was full rest, Today was just light recovery cardio (dog park!).

Tomorrow we resume our regular workout routines!

Last week of split training!

Monday we worked upper push. Single db press on the ball, overhead db presses, incline log presses. Some tricep work. We pushed it a little harder and my shoulder hurt afterwards but not bad the next day.

Tuesday we did Leg Press and Deads. I think deads bothered my shoulder more than anything so far.

Wednesday we did heavier upper pull. standing rope row, medium grip pulldown, db rows. Shoulder felt it during but not after. My trap from shoulder to upper neck is kinda spazzy though. ;( wishing I was in WA, where my favorite chiropractor is!

Thursday we did interval cardio - 30 sec db swing, 30 sec rest, 30 sec box jumps, 30 sec rest for about 20 minutes total.

Today we are resting, Adam is feeling a little under the weather. Tomorrow we are putting on our stretchy pants and doing EVENT training! :) I have missed it!:)

Wow! long time no post!

Packing, moving and unpacking was our workout for a few weeks! Last week on Monday I did an upper body push workout, conditioning reps, incuding incline bench w db's, overhead press with the log (yay!!!! a log I can press more than once at my new gym!!!!! http://trainunderground.com/ ) , wednesday we did legs, including heavy ;eg press, back squats, stiff leg deads and bulgarian split squats,and Thursday I did light rotator cuff and then a light pull workout to see how my shoulder would react. So far it has been a little sore post workot but no worse the following days.

Today I pushed it a little harder, we did Single arm db presses , and incline log presses, I pushed it up to 95lbs and felt it a bit in my shoulder, its like it doesn't want to track right, it is sore now but the real eval will be how it is tomorrow. We also did db overhead push presses, which doesn't seem to bother it too much, and triceps rope press downs, during which my triceps kept spasming..lol.

I am trying to be smart and patient but I am getting anxious about losing strength/time to train for nationals.

Next week I intend to get back on my regular lifting schedule, with upper and lower push/pull and event training. I think this weekend we will train some events. We still need to pour stones, we realized we dont have a tire to set the mold in or a hose to clean up the cement after..lol. Moving is such fun.

We are also ready to get rid of this excess bodyfat now!!!!! I want to reveal all this new Strongwoman muscle I have built! so..dietary changes are in effect :) more protein, more good fat, more fibrous veggies and no more beer :)
