Unhappy Stage 1 Workout A4 4/29/08

Today's surprise was my car being blocked in by new paving that they decided to do a day early (ARRRRG). So I made my warm up a jog/walk to the rec center, about 12 min downhill. This translates to a 18 min walk all uphill after workout on the way back. Ugh. I should've known better or brought PWO shake with me. Wobble wobble all the way home.

A: Squat: 2 sets: 2x15#x12
B1: Pushup: 45 degrees: 10, 11
B2: Seated Row: 75# 12, 10 (yay, higher weight)
C1: Step-Ups: 2x20#x12
C2: Prone Jackknife: 2 sets: 12, 12 (yay)
10 min of stretching

I'm going to have to switch to dumbbell squats. I tried to add weight to the light 15# bar but the collars were right were the hooks in the power rack are making it very precarious. The huger problem is lack of flexibility in my shoulders so in order to hold the bar on my shoulders where it should be I have a very very wide grip (like where the weights go!). My left shoulder is worse due to the frozen shoulder that hasn't gained back flexibility (at least to match the other). I doubt I could even do front squats due to my wrists (and there is nothing I can do about them).

I need to go watch some more Squat RX videos on youtube!! And more and more shoulder stretches i suspect.
