I’ve Got More Fish Oil In Me Than Sea World – I Shouldn’t Be Sore
February 1, 2012
If balance and coordination are two of my biggest sucks, it makes sense that I either over scale, or over do it. I have a bicep that’s sore since Monday, and my hip, glutes and leg is sore from yesterday. The bicep is probably from holding the keg with bent arms, and I may have been foolish wearing oly’s for deadlifts yesterday. Was I too lazy to bring a second pair of shoes for part 2 of the wod? I didn’t used to mind a “costume change”. Did I buy the oly’s thinking I could deadlift in them also because they only had a 3/4 inch heel? With my hamstrings, I need to get as grounded as possible to get them fired up – another weakness that appears in deadlifts and squats.
I’m not painting a completely black picture. My shoulder was ok from holding the bar in back squats, and I’m only slightly tight from Monday’s ring dip volume work. Maybe I just need additional stretching, and I didn’t really over do it. Maybe I’m not overzealous because of the 90 day challenge, and it’s the right time to do strongman work, and force myself to do back squats. Maybe this bicep soreness is no big deal, and I should just do the chin-up volume work and ignore it. Maybe I’m paranoid.
I’m still eating paleo, and was considering having cheese on Sunday at a superbowl party, but, I’m rethinking that. If there’s any inflammation in my bicep, this isn’t a good time for a cheat, and that includes something as benign as cheese. The purpose of going paleo for me, is the reduction of inflammation. I haven’t resorted to NSAIDS because they’re hard on the GI tract, and I just got that feeling right.
I may have to triage my goals, making the safest ones the priority.
About Lenora
I've been CrossFitting for over four years, and just started doing Strongman this year - that must be my version of the 7 year itch. Seriously, I am passionate about working out, spent three years doing stand-up comedy in NYC, and try like crazy to be healthy. As a hypochondriac, I am particularly gifted these areas, since, I am "fun to watch" as I do my best at the gym, eat Paleo with the exception of intense cheat binges, enjoy long walks(What the F! This is no personal ad. I'd rather push the prowler). I sing for a living(yeah, that's my day job), love music, and have eclectic, yea, multiple personality, tastes in music. We're talking Country, Metal, Classical, and Sacred. I am ADHD. Jay invited me to post to keep me busy.
