Tendons, tendons, tendons. Yuck
So I started training again in march after a long laziness pause.
I wanted a small little routine with little entry barrier such that it would be easy to stick to it. Consistency over fast progress.
I have little time so I went with a minimal push pull legs routine.
I could still do 5 clean pull-ups from my last workout spike. I’m lucky enough to have a pull-up bar close so I thought I’d do GTG style pull-ups when I come by the bar as my pulling work. I tried to be very careful not to over do it. Did maybe 5, max 8 pull-ups spread over a full day - 1 each time I come by the pullup bar. No progressions for 4-6 weeks, ate all the protein, had enough sleep.
Bam! recently been feeling discomfort in my right triceps/shoulder region. I think it’s is overuse, probably at the lat insertion.
This is so frustrating.
I wanted a minimal routine that I can just do routinely and consistently. Now that will put me out of pulling commission for god knows how long. And even then, how am I supposed to continue? Do a year of tendon conditioning before. attempting pull-ups again?
Probably won’t do that because it is so boring.
So frustrating!!!
