Sunday was a huge day for me. I worked out early this morning working on my Snatch and Overhead Squat position. This took a good hour and a half. Trust me I went about this very slowly and with a great degree of caution. The Snatch grip overhead is a very tough position in both strength and flexibility for my arm and shoulder. I started with just the bar and a couple of composite training plates. I went from a Power Snatch to a Snatch Balance for a good 45 minutes to be sure of a thorough warm up. I worked up to a meager 95# Snatch, but I was very happy that there was no discomfort in my arm. Something to build on.
Then it happened. I decided to bump my workout timeline up a few weeks and did a MUSCLE UP. The very exercise I was doing when I blew my biceps tendon out in the first place. It was not something I planned to do today, but I wanted to rid myself of every possible thought of self doubt going into a new week of training. It hurt on the whole left side of my shoulder area for a good 30 seconds after I did it, but my arm was fine. I think I broke up some scar tissue in the shoulder as I caught myself in the deep dip position. It's been 8 hours since I did it and my arm feels fine. Now that I have momentum on my side, I'm flooring it from here on out!
