Tried some tricep cables, but it didn't feel right.  Pain in my shoulder.

Sunday!

Sunday was the first and second of many softball games this spring/summer.  We didn't do well, but I had a blast.  I think I went 4/6 with a walk, 1 RBI and 2 runs.  I also missed a catchable ball that went over my head in left field.  Need to work on balls that are hit directly at me, but just over my head.  I can go back on an angle, but if it's coming directly at me, I struggle with getting a good approach.

Oh - and my shoulder still feels like shit.  And my left knee has a little pain.  Nothing I didn't expect, I guess.

Irregardless, I was sore as fuck on Monday.  Hell, I was even more sore on Tuesday, but I figured I had to go to the gym.  So I did, and squatted gently.

The bad news is that I felt some pain in what I'm assuming is a tendon or ligament on the in-side of my right elbow.  I figured I'd give it a rest before something else got hurt.

A lot of catching up

Ok - I haven't posted in over 10 days.  A lot has happened, and I've been to the gym a lot.

And that should just about catch me up.  I'm an idiot for not getting this down immediately, now my memory is a bit hazy and I could be off on reps and sets, even weight in some cases.

I think somewhere in there I did some box jumps and turkish get ups too.  In fact I'm positive I did.  Oh well, I'll get em next time.

A lot of stuff

I'll try and keep it short.  Friday, James and I did some cleans.  It was a good session, even though I struggled a lot.  Easter Sunday, I woke up early and did some fuckarounditis stuff at the gym.  Namely, turkish getups, box jumps, and squat thrusts with a 20lb medicine ball.  Monday, James and I did some deadlifts.  My grip was fucked though, and I didn't do well at all.  Here are the details.

Friday - 3/29/13
