after being in pain from having a forearm muscle flare up from pullups and overhead squats….lots of ice after the work outs…a great week though nonetheless…B

After playing a mean game of hoops this past Saturday that led to a Grade 2 strain of my vastus intermedius quad muscle, I was left to start the week with the inability to perform the usual main site workouts.

I mean it’s hard enough for me to get to the 4:30 class every day with an ever-changing work schedule, so making up workouts is a regular strategy for me. But it doesn’t get any more discouraging than not being able to do the workout whatsoever!

That’s where Luan Nguyen comes in and always find a way to make me feel better by prescribing a challenge that my body can handle while keeping away from further aggravation to the injury. Nguyen gave me what looked to be a simple, 30-25-20-15 reps of Pushups-Pullups-Back Extensions.

However, 13 minutes and 12 seconds later, the word “simple” had no place in the conversation!

Much thanks to Luan and that “doctor guy” who prescribed the tabata challenge today. I’ll be back to 100% before you know it, and ready to get back on pace with the Main Site WOD’s!
