Greetings faithful readers. Sorry for the dearth of posts, I've been distracted by life's little events. Anywho, a reader asked how my wrist injury had healed and whether the Wristwidget had helped. Well, I've regained a lot of the lost function in the injured wrist, so I believe the Wristwidget did good. However, it's my impression that my wrist will always be the weak link, always prone to re-injury. Lots of tape or some sort of brace will be forever in my future.
I have been able to hold a tuck planche for a few more seconds now; 20 versus 10 at a shot. That's a positive development. With the longer tuck planche holds, my shoulders have been taking a beating. I decided to make it a shoulder mobility day.
Sledge hammer pendulum swings- Grasp a sledge hammer by the handle and let it hangover the shoulder and behind your back. Your elbow points straight upwards. Now sway from side to side. The sledge hammer head will oscillate.
Sledge hammer casts and swings- I took these from Indian Club exercises. Look them up.
Sledge hammer trap fixer- Take your sledge hammer and sling it over your shoulder. Allow the handle to see-saw over the tight spots in your upper trapezius. My wife wears out her thumbs trying to massage my traps. The sledge hammer handle works with no effort.
Today's workout:
-HSPU (3x10+10 sec bent arm hand stand holds)
-weighted chin-ups (5, 6, 5; 24 kgs)
-weighted bent arm hangs (3x10 secs, 24 kgs)
