I spent the whole weekend doing R.I.C.E. ,doing pull ups and push ups. You gotta do what your body will give you. I'm really focusing on keeping a positive outlook. I think the biggest problem with my injuries in the past was that my mental state would deteriorate. I get anxious, restless and self loathing when I don't train for a while because of injury. I also had a tendency to not train at all, even what I could train, some body parts. Keeping that in mind I want to get momentum in training again so I went in today.
Foam Rolled and Gentle message of injured ankle area
No static stretching or dynamic warm up - most of this involved using my ankles and I just want to focus on getting good tissue quality today.
A1. Chin ups BW: 4 25 x8/8/7 BW on Rings 6x6
A2. Planks with torso on swiss ball. Alternating Leg lifts 3x6 each side. - I haven't done these in a while I forget how hard they can be. Trying to make sure my knee comes straight up no kicking my hip out to get by a hip flexr restriction
B1. Ring Rows BW: 8/8/8/8 - Focusing on good lat activation
B2. Ring Abb Fall outs 8/8/8
That is all I did today. I can't really think of any cardio to do except Arms only airdyne. Ill do that tomorrow.
I was definitely a little worn from all the compulsive pull ups I did over the weekend. It felt good though to start training what I can again. i think its important to keep momentum going. Another flip side is all the nice juicy hormones for tissue repair that are brought on by exercise, might help heal my ankle faster. I don't have a study to back this, just a theory.
