June Doom, Day 4
Starting Strength, Workout B - Squat: 5 x 5 x 70#. Felt good on these but my right knee was a bit wonky from sciatica pain.
- Press: 1 x 5 x 55#, 4 x 5 x 60#.
- Power clean:5 x 5 x 60#. Down to a knee start level this time. Did pretty good but need to work on the bar path and arm hang thing a bit. Will continue keep weight light until I've nailed form.
Walk x 45 minutes, 3.0 mph.
Stretch x 20 minutes.
Pool time x 1.5 hours constant movement.
Notes:
1. Did most of this stuff starting at 10 or so tonight because today just didn't go as planned. Bonus: temps were nice and cool at 88 degrees.
2. Back & neck still on the mend but feeling sciatica more. *sigh* Have decided on a fella to go see once we're rolling in the dough again. He's a chiro AND a PT and he has a full-time massage chick on staff.
I've been to him once before for a quickie thing but will wait to see how we vibe. He's the only one in the area that's, as far as I can tell, got any real experience and training in something other than sit-on-your-ass-itis. Plus he lifts -- or at least he sure looks like he does.
3. Eats are shit. I end up hitting basic cals and protein kinda-sorta. But I'm going way too long without eating again. Gotta get that under control again.
