"JUMP 'N' PRESS
50, 40, 30, 20, 10
JUMPING SQUATS AND PUSH PRESS (35#)

021909-16.37
(MODS- Here's my book...first 50 jumping squats-normal at 35#, 40-10 sets RDLs 35#, first 4 PP of 50 set normal- remaining 46 of this set + 40 set right only DB PP 20#, sets 30, 20, 10- 10# DB left arm, 15# DB right arm.)

I started this WOD thinking I'd be able to do it as prescribed. The bouncing of the bar during squats combined with my slightly lessened range of motion was going to end in too much for my left shoulder so I switched to the RDLs. I attempted the PP but since the over the head/back motion has been one of the worst ones for my shoulder it did not feel so nice...so we switched to the DBs. Time wasn't too bad considering there was some time after time started getting weights and discussing if/what to do for scaling.

I really think the uni-lateral work is a little harder...my right shoulder muscles are definitely getting sore...and more quickly during the WODs. I'm pretty sure the push presses would've been faster had I been doing them as prescribed. Considering I did 86 with one arm at just over half the weight of the that was on the barbell. Overall even though I had to write it in blue I am OK with this...for once I actually didn't "push through the pain" and keep going which is fairly out of character for me and as a result my shoulder is not more sore than it should be.

  1. I'm so glad that you are "sorta" taking it easy. I know that is hard for you.
