I tried for 55 and it wasn&#8217;t happening. \u00a0My 1RM used to be 60lb and I&#8217;m going to have to test that again to see if I can still do it. I&#8217;ve been having to go light on weights for shoulder heavy workouts and I feel weak and like I&#8217;m losing strength.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Umph! This was a tough workout!<\/p>\n<p>AMRAP for 20 (Artie)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5 Pullups<\/li>\n<li>10 Pushups<\/li>\n<li>15 Squats<\/li>\n<li>5 Pullups<\/li>\n<li>10 Thrusters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ugh. I got in 5 reps + 35 at 40lb for the Thrusters. \u00a0Since we did a ton of shoulder stuff on Tuesday, my shoulder did not want to cooperate. 40lb was the heaviest I could go and even that ended up being really heavy after the first round.<\/p>\n<p>I hate dealing with this! It&#8217;s frustrating and I also feel like it&#8217;s not getting any better since it&#8217;s been months. *Grumble*<\/p>\n<p>I also did another mile run\/walk before class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 mile run straight through before heading to class. It was slow going but I did it and my shins were tired but didn&#8217;t cramp up on me. \u00a0Rolling them out seems to be helping a ton!<\/p>\n<p>We worked on back squats for a bit today and I worked up to 100lb x 3. I wanted to do heavier but my legs did not. I&#8217;m also testing out a new bar position for squats and it makes a huge difference on how the bar feels.<\/p>\n<p>Workout was AMRAP for 7:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>25 Overhead Squats<\/li>\n<li>25 Box Jumps<\/li>\n<li>25 Power Snatches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OHS weight was 25lb and Snatch weight was 40lb. \u00a0OHS is something that I just cannot go heavy on, again with it being related to shoulders. They aren&#8217;t strong and stable enough to do a heavier weight.<\/p>\n<p>Snatches, I wanted to do 45lb but my shoulder was pretty fatigued from being hammered with workouts this week.<\/p>\n<p>I got in 1 full round in 7 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Surprise rest day because I overslept and didn&#8217;t wake up till 9:30am. Whoops! I work till 10pm on Thursdays which is way past my bedtime and lately it&#8217;s been causing me to oversleep on Fridays.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>SUMMARY:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The workouts this week were shoulder heavy and I definitely felt it. My shoulder got very fatigued leaving me feeling weak and frustrated. \u00a0It&#8217;s probably time to suck it up and see a doctor about my shoulder just to make sure nothing crazy is going on. \u00a0I still think it&#8217;s a strain and since I&#8217;m still using it for working out that might be why it&#8217;s not healing as fast.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I&#8217;m not going to stop going to CrossFit if that happens to be the recommendation. I&#8217;m just going to have to seriously modify workouts so that I&#8217;m still exercising while\u00a0letting my shoulder heal.<\/p>\n<p>I got a pair of Nike Metcons thanks to a sweet Black Friday deal and I have been wearing those lately for my workouts. I have to say that I don&#8217;t think I like them as much as the Reebok Nanos. \u00a0They are\u00a0a little heftier feeling and feel more bulky as well. \u00a0For a regular AMRAP or workout they are fine but if the workout focuses a lot on lifts, I don&#8217;t feel as stable in them as I do in the Nanos. \u00a0I&#8217;ll probably switch out to my old Nanos for lifts and wear the Metcons for workouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t have a ton to report for the week but I did workout and I ran so let&#8217;s get to it!
