What happened to the rest of my post??? Anyway I need to start logging food again too as I’ve been eating like crap.
Ok only logging the good things I eat not going to beat myself up yet. Low carb cheese taco shape shell with loads of crunchy veggies
Even everyone in the house liked it. Pain to flip over though. Used a sifter for shaping
Can’t view this site in work any more so have to use phone.
Last two workouts have left Deliciously Overworked Muskles (DOMs), its been awhile since I’ve been good sore instead of just pain sore. The pain in the back/ribs are still there but they are not getting worse, so I think the hydro area is helping, I’ve been spending 25 mins right after every workout.
cross trainer for 5 mins
KB swings
2 x 10 - 8kg
Split squats
2 x 5 - 8kg (KB) (don’t know what happened there, lost count)
Single leg DL
2 x 10 - 8kg (KB)
(takes me about every 3rd rep to reset my hip hinge, must find that video again)
Leg curls (7th pin I think)
2 x 12 (w/ 1 sec hold)
Also experimented with some upper body the other day, with extremely light weights. Need to add some back exercises and see which ones don’t bother it.
10 min cross trainer
Lat machine
2 x 10 (7th pin)
Arnie presses (had to hold my right shoulder down, that seemed to stop the pain)
4 x 5 (measly 3.2 kg), the right shoulder/arm could take much more but the left was having none of it.
YT’s (couldn’t do the WL’s, just too painful)
2 x 5 (3.2 kg, which is the lightest weight they have)
Scalp shrugs (boy was there a lot of crunchy noises going on in my scalp)
Tricep kickbacks
2 x 10
Bike Tabata’s and then a 2nd round but with distractions, got a nice high from it!
My new Pre workout drink
Spinach,oats, banana date cinnamon sesame oil
Anyway can’t get the pic up. Had the best upper body workout in awhile, its been nearly a year now.
Cross trainer 10 mins (really felt the thoracic area becoming a bit looser)
Lat machine
2 x10
DB pullover (think I might use a ball next time instead of the bench for more rom)
2 x 10 - 10kg
KB Shoulder press (found this interesting for my shoulder instead of doing a DB press…
Had to break up the reps differently for each arm
Left side
2 x 10 - 6kg
Right side
4 x 5 - 6kg
Arnie presses (with bicep curl)
Left side
2 x 10 - 5kg
Right side (have to hold down that ligament near the clavicle while doing this, think its because of my supraspinatus???)
4 x 5 - 5kg
Just doing some tricep pulldowns but with a band around neck
DB Tricep press (in snatch grip stance)
2 x 10 3kg (oof right shoulder is a bit iffy on that)
Wrist work (better get them back in shape if I’m ever to take up snatching again)
2 x 10 - 3kg
Tricep kickbacks
2 x 10 3kg
Back extension on ball
8 x 2
I forgot to do YT’s
Fuck a duck! Stupid stupid woman!!! Think the 10kg pullovers was a bad idea. Well since the last time I did pullovers was 25kg (yeah a long ass time ago). I’m pretty sure it was the pullovers, would’ve actually been smart to only add one or two new exercises at a very low weight at a time to see what bothers me.
It wasn’t bad until 3am last night, seems that sleeping in bed or sitting at the computer for work is my enemy. Went to acupuncturist, and got some cupping done, felt good until I went back to work. At least I didn’t cry like a little girl again. Was in the hydro pool for an hour and a half, can still feel things trying to seize up. Nuff moaning, hoping to get back into lower body work Friday and hoping this was just a short painful lesson to pace the fucking exercises, reps & weight.
Somatic class tomorrow, speaking of which had to go into a quiet room at work today to do some which did at least get me through the day, might to it every 30 mins if I can for 2 minutes every day.
Made a pretty good smoothie (& it was a chewy one too): oats, cucumber, tumeric, ginger, banana, apple, a date & sesame oil. Need to buy some coconut oil instead, kale would be nice too.

Shit what happened to you?
You sound in a bad way.
Hope you get back to the O lifts. The snatch is just the greatest lift isn’t it?

Oh just this stupid back/ribs (mainly the 7th & 8th left ribs) that have been at me that no one has really been able to finish helping me get rid of the daily pain. I’m actually ok today, slept with my foam roller holding my side up, the pain is back to the normal bearable levels, went to osteopath, and did another 1.5 hours stint in the jets & jacuzzi.
I fully concur, snatches are greatest and you can make all sorts of dirty jokes. I remember the first time I saw a snatch, I thought it was one of the most graceful things you could do with a heavily weighted bar.
Did some light swimming at lunch time, so planning to go to gym and work on me glutes & gams! Lesson has been learnt with upper body, baby step every exercise rep and weight so I can progress no matter how slow.
WTF is with these posts disappearing on me??
Cross trainer
4 x 10 walking lunges
2 x 10 KB swings - 8kg

Came home & since it was a friday had some left over pre-workout drink, so added some vodka ;-}
Hiya Minimal!
Injuries suck.
I remember the first time I saw a snatch too!
Impressive lift when done correctly.
Hope the vodka boosted shake helped!

Yes they do, , I’ve had injuries before but this one just takes the cake, it can hurt to breathe, sleep (& I like my sleep) and thought I was having heart problems because when things spasm up, I feel my heart (heart seems to be fine though, thank baby cheeses).
Really miss the frustration of making my snatch pretty.
Got a full body program from the gym that I did yesterday, will incorporate some stuff, other stuff I’ll just do once a week for a change. Will type out program later, did that yesterday. Wasn’t too bad, it was actually from the guy that I used to see years ago for muscular therapy who actually pre-diagnosed that my right shoulder would go to crap.
So did his stuff yesterday. KB Russian twists was the most interesting.
Today did a windy rainy dive with no sign of life except for a couple of crabs and lots of blinding plankton (I can still see them floating before me). Was an easy dive to lead though, just going west and then back to east.
Afterwards, after washing all the gear, went to gym with eyes closed to do some mobility, cross trainer & tabata on the bike. Then went for my usual 30 minute hydro-soak, I’m all shribbled up from being in the water.
Routine from Saturday with gym guy:
Will incorporate:
KB Russian twist
KB Press
Bench step ups
Back extension
KB Swings
Stuff I’ve decided to only do once a week
DB Fly curls
DB Bicep curls
DB Lateral raises
DB Row
I’m going to just slowly add in these as something bothered my ribs on Saturday but hard to tell which exercise
Went to a new physio, she really worked me good in the back and ribs, so I’ll give the physio sessions another shot
Yesterday, er can’t remember it all, had to rush it too and everyone was hogging the benches:
Lat machine
2 x 10 - 8th pin
2 x 10 KB press - 8kg
2 x 10 KB Russian Twist - 8kg
2 x 10 KB Swings - 12kg
2 x 10 KB Single Deadlift- 12kg
2 x 5 (wtf) KB Split squat- 12kg
2 x 10 ball Back Extentions
YT’s on ball - no benches 
- 3kg
Tricep press snatch style - 3kg
2 rounds of bike tabatas, legs were pretty shakey coming off.
30 mins jacuzzi

That looks like a pretty solid workout.
I always wanted to do diving. As a kid I watched all those diving series they had on tv.

I never noticed my ribs being sore, but I had this the other day, Im assuming its the muscle around there? Either way i feel ya.
What’s Up! Oof yeah stupid ribs, don’t know why they have to be so delicate. I know growing up mine were always shifting around the place, as well as my hip and shoulder scalps.
Wed: Swimming with diving club in pool, only did a few lengths.
Thurs: Somatics class, last one for awhile too. We did some hip/leg cross over movement thingies. Its always nice to slow down, and Recon (where ever you are) yes its exactly like psychotherapy for the body. Its a catch 22 though, the one thing takes the most effort is to make sure you are not putting in any effort to do the moves. Everything has to be effortless and not disturb the breathing.
No gym last night as had to deal with some plumbing issues, but tonight its legs! Food hasn’t been the best, as I have just been eating what is put in front of me.
Scratch the legs tonight. My psoas or some hip flexor decided to act up, the pain wasn’t too bad but for some reason it made me feel nauseous, felt raw and like it was rubbing against the bone, bleck.
So brief upper body trying not to upset the flexors
Cross trainer 5 mins, was bothering it a bit so decided to do it backwards, felt a little better.
Wall slides, band pull aparts, tricep thingies
Superset
4 x 10 KB press - (1 X 8kg, 3 x 12 kg)
4 x 10 KB shoulder press - 8 kg (these felt really solid hence the extra sets)
3 x 10 lat machine - 8pin
3 x 10 tricep press snatch style - 3kg (right one is very very weak).
some time in the hdyro area till I turned into a prune. I hope the flexors are better tomorrow, want to do legs, they have not felt the doms in awhile.
