Body Parts

 The universe has something against all my body parts working well, together, at the same time.  My shoulders are much improved, tbh I'm really surprised because I was thinking I probably had rotator cuff tears.  I've been doing Crossover Symmetry almost everyday and I think that as well as time has made a big difference. Yesterday when I got off the rower and went to do my wall walks my ankle hurt, it just felt like if it popped it would be ok.  It didn't pop and by the time I got home I could only hobble on it.  This morning is is really bruised but I can walk on it with a pretty tight wrap, ibuprofen, and NAC.  I guess my lesson learned is it always gets better, first hips, then shoulders, now ankle but there always seems to be something next!

I was supposed to play pickleball this morning but that's not happening so I did some upper body weights and Crossover Symmetry.

25:29

 That's all I've got to say 25:29 row and handstand stuff.

Hanging from the Bar

 1RM Squat Clean 55lb

The WOD was: A whole lotta toes to bar and front squats, I did a whole lotta knee ups which is big progress, I can hang from the bar kinda sorta.  Swinging on the bar is still not so great. The front squats were fine.

Lessons Learned

 Don't deadlift alone!  What could go wrong?  Well luckily this morning--nothing, but.....I set up, braced, and I'm going for that all important, ego stroking one elbee pr and made it. I immediately went down on purpose 'cause it felt like I was going to pass out, I didn't, I was ok. 

This is what I think happened:  

Passing out while deadlifting, or during any strenuous exercise, is usually due to a drop in blood pressure caused by the Valsalva maneuver (holding one's breath during exertion) and overactive vagus nerve, leading to vasovagal syncope (fainting).

 

Assault Bike

 Not my favorite thing....but let's just add a little insult to injury here and combine it with wall balls.

Coyotes

Devin

 I had planned to drop-in at 7K yesterday, however my teenagerish Husky granddog decided that she was going to chase a coyote and my workout would be chasing her.  It's not a good look to lose your granddog whom you've been entrusted to dog sit, challenge on! I went the way she bolted on foot, Craig got the car and drove around, after forever, we traded and I drove while he walked.  I finally decided just to try her street to see if she might have come back and there she was trotting down the middle of the street, like I told you I was going to do this and you can't stop me. I stopped the car opened the back door and offered her some raw bacon (note: she likes her bacon cooked). She was like eh, I'm not getting in the car for this, she walked around the car a few times to tease me and hopped in.  Crisis averted, near tears of relief. But maybe the near tears were also because I just avoided some immeasurable amount of wall balls.

Pickleball this morning, I didn't play as well as I would have liked but had way more fun than Husky Chasing.
