AM WORKOUT

(5) Mat Pulls
5x136
5x226
1x276

1x456 (mixed grip)
10x561 (straps, touch and go, rest pause)
10x471 (straps, deadstop)
25 second DOH hold 276

Notes: This went much better than expected.  Grip held up better, and I found reserves I didn't know I had.  Also ended up blowing out a ton of blood vessels in my both shoulders.  Good to be able to bring that kind of intensity to an AM workout.

2x280

Notes: Felt good to nail those 10 reps of 370, but it took just about everything out of me.  I seriously contemplated hanging up the rest of the workout for a hot second there, but pushed through.  Once I did it again at 280, I had to take longer than 15 breaths between sets, because I was trying my hardest not to vomit.  I might move up to 410 next workout and try to get the reps back up from there.

Left knee still didn't want to play this morning, but after enough warm-ups it didn't bother me.  I'm wondering of my new ACL just got too stiff in the cold weather, and I needed to just warm it up and stretch it out.  The knee is still a little tight, but manageable.  The pain is migrating from the surgical site to the top of the knee cap, which I think is a good sign.  This might be that arthritis they told me I would get, or something completely unrelated, but right now, I'm just dealing with pain, not dysfunction.  If that changes, I might get it looked it.


General notes: Woke up at 196.6 this morning.  That said, I had to stop midway through warm-ups to attend to some colon issues, so I imagine I was carrying some deadweight there.  I might be tabling the run this week for some other conditioning, because that might be good for the knee.
