Donnerschweer: Lifting, MTBing and rehabing

My ‘‘collection’’ is still small but do I really need a 4th bike

I was super tired Friday night. So, I skipped the workout.

Good thing. The Saturday pump track was a blast. My legs were on fire by the end.

It was also 20oC!

My local bike shop is looking into giving me a good solid deal on an enduro bike.

Thursday,

Getting better. My shoulder is sore from all the coughing.

The BF got sick too. I will see if the week end will be bike or gym but I should be up for some action.

On the summer plan, we are planning many bike park week end and I did score a great deal on a Slash 9.8 GX AXS Gen 5. I was not looking for the wireless transmission but for the price I got. While at the shop, I was drooling over a DH bike but that would not be a wise choice.

Congratulations on the new bike! I have a wireless transmission on mine. It grows on you. Always keep a spare battery on your car. I have already hauled my bike 5 hours to realize I left the battery charging at home.

Monday,

Finally feeling normal.
Did a light session to get the body moving again.

Tuesday,

Easy leg day. My shoulder did good with yesterday’s workout.
The leg work can also nag at the said shoulder/tendon in the deadlift and squat.

I will see how things feel in the morning.

Light upper body. The shoulder is ok ish. I am seeing the physio next Tuesday.

And I got my bike. It is sexy AF. But after a quick spin in the parking lot, I ordered a higher bar, not carbon but it will match the grips and pedals.

Now, we hunker down for a massive spring storm.

Crossing all fingers for some above freezing temperature. So we can ride out side.

Normal upper body stuff but no bi and tri because I felt a mild pop during the day, so just to be safe.
