Possible Shoulder Impingement

A couple of hours after the workout yesterday I started to get a pain in my shoulder, which I think might be a shoulder impingement. Shit!

Went to the gym and worked out with Matt and Cora in the afternoon.

Warm-up

Did a little on the Air Dyne and some stretching.

Back Squats

While waiting for them, I got in some back squats. Trying to get that 3rd day of squatting in each week.

  • 20×45#
  • 5×225#
  • 3×245#
  • 10:00 EMOM of 2×275#

Could feel my back tweak on several of the reps, so it was important to focus on staying tight with good form. The squats themselves felt great though. Have dove a similar format before with 10 doubles a couple of times. Once with 275 and once with 285.

Conditioning

3 Rounds

  • 1:00 Chest-to-deck Push-ups
  • 1:00 Row for calories
  • 1:00 Pendlay Rows (75#)
  • 1:00 Box Jumps (20″)
  • 1:00 Back Squats (75#)
  • 1:00 Rest

Fight Gone Bad style workout, but with the shoulder issue, I didn’t want to do anything involving my elbow being higher than my shoulder, so substituted 3 of the movements. I got 112, 114, and 108 reps. Happy with the consistency.
