Physicist by training, medical physicist by sheer dumb luck. I also dabble in fitness.

28 June 2012

Warmup 2k at 1:56/500m pace

Workout
Deadlift: 1x5@135lbs, 1x5@155lbs, 1x10@170lbs
Assistance: 3x10 chin-ups, pull-ups, wide grip pull-ups and 60 reps walking lunges.

I was hesitant to really put some weight on DLs today because I think my technique may not be as strong as it could be. I hope that I am not suffering from using too much back. I squatted lower today on the set-up for the DL and it felt different than what I normally do. Normally my hips are higher but I dropped them about 4 inches from normal. This injury really made me rethink my technique. I know it isn't BAD but I also know that it wasn't, nor still is, perfect. I will play with my initial hip height and see where I find I am the strongest. I will re-read starting strength and watch some more videos as well.

I have yet to start the two-a-days. I am still easing into the workouts and am a bit fearful that that type of volume will aggravate my back and set me back further. I am giving myself a few weeks of lifting and getting stronger before I add any crossfit in.

Cheers!
