This morning I decided to see how close I could get to 100 of each of my strength training exercises.
100/100 crunches, not an issue. I'm up to 150 daily.
100/100 squats, a little less pleasant, but not really hard.
100/100x2 leg lifts (each leg). More or less equal amount of effort as squats.
100/100 sit ups. Not fun at all, lol- but I did it.
60/100 push ups. This was the toughest one and I had to give up at 60.
The bones around my right shoulder, even after stopping, still feel extremely sore, achy and pressed/pulled. Especially the right collarbone. Stretching the shoulder and arm befor and after helps, but the ball joint and collarbone still just aren't handling the pressure well. Hopefully as my muscles develop around them it will strain them less. My left arm is totally fine, granted my left side has always been naturally stronger. Still, I don't think it's the muscles I'm straining, rather the damage left from the old injury. There's no shaking of muscles or anything like that which would suggest muscle strain. I'm just going to have to be patient and slowly build it up.
I will probably take push ups back down to no more then 40, if even that high. I think I will be taking my squats and each leg lifts up to 100 after this. 100 on those was outside what I could do with ease, but was not so much so. I will not be taking sit ups up to 100. That was very far outside of workable ease. I'm thinking maybe up to 50 from the previous 30.
It was certainly interesting to see where my (reasonable) limits were on my goal of 100 each. Hopefully I will be there with sit ups befor too long. I thing push ups are just going to take a while to work up the muscle to keep my shoulder ok. I know once the ball joint is pulled out it never really sets back in completely right, not to mention the damage to the tissue around it. I assume that's what is hurting and why the collarbone is feeling pulled on so much, is because the ball joint isn't stable so each push is pulling things apart more then an undamaged ball joint would allow. I'm hoping as muscle builds up around the joint the muscle will be able to keep that from occurring.
Happy Memorial Day Everyone!
