Today’s WOD was my first workout back in the Chalkbox Gym… My Gym! I had to move the car out and put away all of the Christmas stuff before I could set up the gym. It’s all set up and then I proceeded to workout after my warm-up. After the first set of overhead squats, I immediately felt the pain I had back in November when I did overheads. I believe I over stressed my rib cage muscles. Anyway, not sure how with only a 45 pound bar, but needless to say, I still screwed it up. Today was actually a light workout just to get back into the gym with jet lag. Of which I am way into the jet lag right now. Brain is all over the place and I just couldn’t get my thoughts straight.
