Donnerschweer: Lifting, MTBing and rehabing

Tuesday morning

Lower body work out, also getting better but it is hard to not deadlift or squat with a barbell but getting there slowly.

Upper body session. Feeling good.

Went up in weight for the OHP.

Got a second DJ for the BF as he is using mine a lot and move the cockpit around every time. It was half price so…

Pretty muscle stiff this morning but ROM is not affected.

And look at that new DJ. The bf is lucky all the loud colours are back order.

So do I. I’ve had a heated steering wheel since early 2016, and it’s helped tremendously. I also carry rechargeable hand warmers when we’re playing/hiking out in the cold and use mittens instead of gloves unless it’s over 35° or so.

But I’m thinking @donnerschweer may have a different kind than I do - mine isn’t episodic, it’s 100% cold-related.

It is always there but if I get very cold once it is much more sensitive for a few days. We had a few cold days and I did not have warm gloves at work. So I got cold and for the next few days as soon as my hands got a small cool breeze on them the blood just left.

That’s just yucky!! Keep those hands WARM!!!

Sunday,

Work suck big time lately! Got feeling dumpy. So I did a short leg work out.

My shoulder is still a bit stiff but much better then yesterday.

I may drive to the indoor pump track tomorrow as I am off.

Monday,

made it to the indoor pump track. I had the place just for moi!

I lasted 1 hour of on off laps. Got more speed so timing was better. My right turn also got better.

I managed to get some air but not clear the table jumps so I had a couple hard cases. And almost kept a manual between 2 rollers.

Friday,

An other light full body workout.

We are both off this week end so we will go to the pump track.

And it seem like my BF got me a brain bucket for x-mas. A very cool full face convertible.

Sunday,

Pump track session. A lot of fun, found some new lines, still can’t clear that table. But rode off the hedge of the berm just like riding a quarter pipe.

My legs are dead, I got my blood flowing fast and was out of breath and sweaty.

Friday,

Pump track day. I went alone but 2 other riders were sharing the time slot. I am the least advance but that is ok. I am having fun and getting better.

This is a type of cardio that I truly enjoy.

Upper body session. Trying to up the weight a bit.

Work suck more and more. I don’t even have time to punch in that I am ask to do other people job but it is dead in the store. That is getting abusive, not enough that I hate my new department, have no work relation with my supervisor and I have to do extra work with not even a thank you. But other are rewarded for not picking their nose for 5 minutes.

I’m so sorry to hear this. I hope things improve or you find something more rewarding, but until then, just do the best that you can to keep your head down, do what you need to do and then get the heck out of there and enjoy life. Be happy that you’re not on the same level with the nose-pickers! Hang in there.
