Ouch

Well, in a very smart move yesterday, I decided to find out the hard way that "carving" longboard skateboards don't tend to handle well at 30-35mph. In fact, they get extremely squirrelly. From my lesson, I earned a very sore body, some major road rash on my left love handle, a skinned knee & elbow, and a very worrying left shoulder pain, again. Doh.

Managed to work outside on the house for a few hours, though, and fix up the front garden bed in preparation for listing the house. Then I hit them gym, though I was already pretty tired.

It was a B2 day, pull. I'm trying to alternate heavy and light when doing the push/pull days. Last workout was 21, 9 of deads and jumping pullups, so this time I thought I'd try something a little heavier. 5x5 deads and 10x3 pullups. Got through the 5 sets of deads and was exhausted. Just went with single jumping pullups, and by the time I hit 25, I was done. I can't wait until I can do real pullups!

W/U: 1 mile bike, 4 min
Deadlift:
WU: 135x5, 225x3
315 x 5, 5, 5, 5
365 x 5
1-2 min rest between sets
Pullups: 25 jumping pullups, slow descent. All singles with a few breaths between.
W/D: 1 mile bike, >4 min

Note: I was wasted by the end of this. Dripping sweat and exhausted. Not much in the tank today. However...I AM A MAN! Glad I made it to the gym. Looking forward to distance running tomorrow - my 2 mile day! Yikes.
