Today’s WOD was a get back in the saddle moment! It’s been a long road to recovery from this nasty ass staff infection! I let it get to the point it got into my blood stream and really fucked me up! I’ve worked out twice this entire month! So, I got a story about coming back to early as well.
About a week ago, I decided I could work out again as long as I didn’t over do things. Well, I decided to do overhead squats. I did a couple of sets of three reps with only the bar and on the fourth rep, I hear a loud pop and immediate pain in my ribs. I ended up straining the muscle in between my lower two right ribs. Talk about pain, holy shit! Anyway, so I had to take off another four days. So today’s workout felt great even though I have to ease back into it. It’s great to be back! Lose some of this 30 pounds I’ve gained!
