After having some pretty good strength gains in my shoulders for months, something finally gave way recently.
Not sure what happened but it's been hard for me to raise my hand above my head, much less lift a weight. I had a hard time just combing my hair this morning damn it.
Yesterday Professor Beezlebump gave me some stretches to do and they actually worked. Didn't totally cure it but I could raise my hand higher afterwards.
The problem is I didn't take notice as to when the pain started.
So here's some helpful advice for all you RFM peeps, Crossfitters in general or just people that workout on a regular basis.
If you can, write it in your notebook the time and place you notice any body pain and what workout or event it was that came before. Might make things easier for your physical therapist when it comes to diagnosing your ills.
As it is I might have to do those ring rows for a bit until my shoulder comes back. That's not a problem, I like ring rows. It's a good stretch and a good workout, they feel pretty good.
Today we do snatches for our strength, heavy snatches. Not sure if I can do them, might have to switch to something else.
Getting old sucks gang, but at least with RFM the aging comes with increases of strength and cardio. Hate to be getting older AND weaker. That would suck.
Coolio,
Rod
