Interesting training day today. To start I definitely shouldn’t have done the workout as prescribed. It was a bit heavy, but I pushed through the workout and finished it, just at a slow pace at certain points. Worked on getting a different warm-up in today which I enjoyed, good combination of a bunch of moves.

Warm Up:
3 rounds of
5 45lb Barbell Deadlift
5 Pull-ups
5 45lb Barbell Overhead Squat
5 Push-ups
5 12lb Medicine Ball Clean + Squat
5 Sit-ups

WOD:
5 rounds for time of
3 95lb Snatches
15 95lb Overhead Squats
400 Meter row

Time 22:17

I replaced the prescribed running with rowing to give my shins a break. Although my shins feel fine at this point I want to give them extra rest to make sure that they really are healed all the way. I’m going to go back to running and jumping rope next week.

So the snatches and overhead squats were too heavy given the workout. I think I would have been much better off with 65-75lbs. Part way through the second set of OHS my left hand and pointer finger and thumb started to go numb. I pushed through this but by the end part of my arm was also numb along with my shoulder. So a bit worried about this as now, almost 4 hours later, it is all still numb, not as bad as before, but the feeling is still there. I’m hoping that it is just a form issue and that my shoulders are a little tight. I’m going to starting working on shoulder dislocations daily and work on my OHS form. Hopefully this goes away by the end of the day as it’s a little scary.

Another note with the workout I definitely cheated myself a bit on the squats. I wasn’t going deep enough, probably 2/3 to 3/4 of the way. This was mainly because of high weight. I’ll make sure to scale a bit next time OHS show up.

Nutrition was good yesterday although I found that I am under eating a bit. My day would have been very low had I not tracked it, and I ate a couple extra table spoons of peanut butter just to boost my intake up.
