Overhead Dumbbell

Walked 18 yesterday. My shoulders started getting tight later in the day. This right shoulder impingement is getting annoying. It’s another day heavy on the barbell at the gym, so I did yesterday’s workout in the garage.

Warm-up – 3 Rounds

  • 10 Goblet Squats (53#)
  • 10/10 Bottoms Up KB Press (25#)
  • 30s Hollow Hold

Conditioning

  • 100 Banded March (100# sandbag, green + red bands)
  • 50 Sit-ups
  • 50 DB Snatch (50#)
  • 50 DB OHS (50#)
  • 50 T2B
  • 100 Banded March (100# sandbag, green + red bands)

** Switch arms every 5 reps for both movements

I did the first 100 banded marches and 50 sit-ups unbroken. The snatches had to be in 5s, so I set the dumbbell down each time and took a couple of breaths between some of the sets. For the OHS, I switched arms overhead and only set it down after 30 reps, then did the last 20. I did toes to bars in sets of 4 and was going to finish 3-3, but I failed the very last rep, so it ended up being 11×4, 3, 2, 1. After I strapped in and picked up the sandbag I could not hold it up high on my chest! Arms and core were shot. It was a fight to be able to do 2 sets of 50. Finished at 18:47.

Gymnastics Strength – 3 Sets

  • MAX Strict Ring Dips
  • 2:00 Rest

First set wasn’t feeling great on the shoulder. I think my hanging hooks are spaced out more than I space out the rings on a rig too. I did 10-14-13.
