Jog jog

Took a few weeks off, after experiencing a funny pull in my R posterior tibial tendon. Even got an MRI - looks funny, but not torn. Time to get back at it, though., before couch potato spread starts happening. Have also been noticing L VMO atrophy - another sign I have been neglecting my PT.

TM 3.4
walk 5/jog 5 x3 (30 min)

Single leg half squats 20/10/10 alt B
20 counter pushups
20 V sit extensions

2/3 BWT + PU

Five rounds for max reps of:
2/3 body weight thrusters
Pullups

I don't have an adjustable weight bar, and am not sure I can do 80# thrusters, anyway. Likewise, it should be nice to have an assist dip set up. I did what I could with what I have:

Warm up: TM 3.2 jog 1.5 min, walk 1.5 min

Thrusters 24# bar 10-7-7-7-8
Inclined pullups 11-11-11-11-11

Time: 10 min

I think it might be rather dangerous to do this much weight in a thruster to failure without a spotter.

Interesting that I have a fair amount of delayed muscle soreness from the past two days, mostly thighs and forearms, but after this workout I'm not so sore. Wait until tomorrow!
