I got to round 7, but only did 24 of the 40 pushups of the round (so a total of 215 reps if I mathed right)

While my hamstring seems to be about 99% (Still gotta retest 1RM deadlift and stuff, those are still being built back up), I finally am a proper crossfitter and fcked up my shoulder (probably the twice pike push up workout of Friday / Monday past). So I am paying more attention to shoulder movements, being more careful, scaling a lot more, and started with extra activation / warm up with GoWod for the painy parts.

Just cleaned up enough space in my office for my bench and hand weights. My plan is to do 10 bench press reps before every cup of coffee. I drink coffee continuously, so I should get an arm workout over the course of a day.

Today's #Workout was #Patseruurtje #GymBroHour

Warm up: 25 min erg bike / 10 km

Mobility: banded 7s

Strength: Bench press 4 rounds, every 2:30 #BenchPress

Happy I still could bench press this after yesterday's 100 bench presses. Triceps roll backs felt fine at 4kg but too much at 5kg. Oh well.

📈 Maximizing Smith Machine Chest Press 📈

👉 Set a flat bench under the bar.

👉 When lying down, the bar should align just below nipple line.

👉 Bar path = slight arc down toward lower-mid chest

👉 Tempo: 2–3 seconds down

👉 Stop just above chest or gentle touch, don’t bounce the weight off the chest.

Doc did not see purpose in getting an echo for my hamstring, even when coach//physical therapist recommended it. But I did get a prescription for one in the end. And went ahead and looked up some rehab exercises to do before class.

It is so weird being able to do so many reps at 50% of the initial weight. & Had to keep the deadlift weight in check so I do not worsen the hamstring issue. I guess I might have to check with the doc at some point...

Bunch of stuff that did not go today, being too close to 1RM bench means that no way I am getting enough volume, and then the single unders kept whipping me for some annoying reason. And with the hamstring pull from Monday the thrusters weren't a good idea, so push press it is. I guess I went, I did it, better than sitting on my butt?

At the beginning of the month, I was benching 60 lbs. I went pretty light because I wasn't sure what my gimpy shoulder could handle. Ends up that with the Swiss bar, my shoulder is fine. Managed three reps at 85 lbs today, and one rep at 90 lbs.

Next up, I'll be focusing on deadlifts. Here's hoping my shoulder is ok with them.
