Well the only thing we really do with KB's is swings or snatches. So i can't speak for the whole KB program. Those really give my shoulders a good work out though.

Had my fire department physical and cardiac stress test (inclined treadmill). My results were "consistent with someone who exercises regularly." Did 13:58 on that treadmill. My calves were fatigued before I felt like my heart or lungs were. The target was 12 min. My lung capacity test results were "off the charts"...no, really, they were. She showed me the chart and it went beyond the top of the Y axis of the graph. She said that was the best she had seen in 2 or 3 weeks. I look forward to seeing my cholesterol and fasting glucose numbers when they come in. This is the first time since I was a teenager that there was no protein in my urine. So that's a good thing.

Halfway through the set of 9 swings, I let the KB pull me too low and lost my core stability and pulled something in my lumbar area. Left side like before, I think. Doesn't hurt quite as bad, but it's still difficult to maintain ROM. Going to a Chiro in a bit. Hopefully not as debilitating as last time this happened.

First day back after almost a month. Back is improving. According to the chiropractor there was a lot more going on in there than just the apparent injury (bone spurs, tilted pelvis, compressed discs, etc). Today was open gym, so I did my own thing and kept it light, to ease back into things.

WOD: "Fight Gone Bad"

 

Three rounds of -

 

1 minute of 20 lb wall ball to 10 ft target

1 minute of Sumo deadlift high pull (65 lbs)

1 minute of Box jump 20"

1 minute of Push press (65 lbs)

1 minute of Row for calories

 

Total reps after 3 rounds - 203

 

Even keeping in mind that I'm still recovering from the lower back injury and having to take things light and slow, it's still a mental battle between pride and common sense. Only being able to go at these at like 75% really sucks, and the scores reflect it. Could be worse...At least I still get to go do it.
