It’s fucked up my sleep, for three days I couldn’t turn my head/neck without pain, trying to film etc was a nightmare. I wasn’t able to train which really fucks up my routine/mental health/ability to concentrate. My physio did some work on me Friday and I was praying I’d be pain free by Monday. (For those that don’t know, you have to submit your CrossFit open score by midnight on Monday) Well, I wasn’t, lol. But I just couldn’t bare not at least *giving it a go*. So I gave myself a pep talk - if it started to hurt during the WOD, I’d stop. I warmed up basically all morning. In between doing admin I would do stretches and scap push ups, roll out my back and ice/heat it. I went to the gym and COVERED my back and shoulders in deep heat. Like three times. My back was on fire. And then I went for it! The work out was: PART A As many reps as possible in 15 minutes of - 5 burpee pull ups (increasing by increments of 5 each round - 10 shuttleruns Immediately into: PART B 5 minutes to build to a 1 rep max thruster I was most concerned about the burpee pull-ups and the thruster. They’re both movements that aggravate my trap - last January at Turf Games I completely fucked my trap doing a thruster 😬 I paced myself a little too slow, and I could for sure have gone faster in part A, but regardless, I got 96 reps. Kinda pissed I didn’t break triple figures, BUT in the 2022 CrossFit open I couldn’t even do a single pull up - I did 56 damn burpee pull ups a year on. That’s progress!!! Then onto the thruster. My previous PB is 47.5kg. I got 55kg! Woooooo! So yeah, I am happy, my shoulder not only held out but I actually think the workout kinda helped. It’s still sore and a little tight but it’s feeling a bit better! Now congratulate me bitches 😎
