Friday November 11 - Day 197

I had no idea what he had planned for me.  I didn't ask throughout the day and he didn't say when I'd see him.  I was just hoping it would kick my ass something fierce without hurting my legs more than they were already hurting from the box jumps yesterday.

He had me do a warm up first of 10 push ups and 10 shoulder presses - to see how they felt with my shoulder.  I used 15# on the press.  After I did the warm up, I felt okay, although the shoulder felt weird.  I think it felt that way because this was the first time in 7 months I've done anything like that.  Deadlifts work the top of my shoulders and don't engage the area of my shoulder that was hurt.  Shoulder presses?  They engage everything in the shoulder.

10 push ups
20 lunges
10 shoulder presses (15# on left; 10# on right)
20 squats (hold weights used in presses)
50 sit ups
3 rounds

I started with 15# on both sides and it was too much for my right shoulder.  I took it down 5 pounds on that side only, after discovering that we didn't have two dumbbells at 10#.  *sigh*

I felt shaky and very weak during the push ups and presses.  Extremely weak actually.  I guess that's to be expected since it's the first time in so long.  I'll work through it and work up on the weights I'm sure.  He was worried and doesn't want me to hurt it again.  I'm sure I'll be sore at some point tomorrow, if not tonight.  I feel pretty good about my first real "lifting" workout in awhile.
