My body is in a much different place a week later - which is a good thing. The body work and chiro this week are definitely helping re-set some things. Woke up this morning feeling good despite the hard snatch training session that I had just completed the previous afternoon. Good sign. I did notice the L shoulder as a bit tight as I got down to the lake around 5pm. I did quite a bit of hanging from the rings to stretch the lats and shoulders, really helped tremendously. Man I would love to have a pair of rings to hang from at home. Would really be useful.
Based on Kevin's instructions, I am dropping pistols and push-ups in favor of walking, and keeping pull-ups. So this is what I did:
Walking
5 pull-ups
Plank (hold for about 60-90 seconds)
Walking
4 pull-ups
Plank
Walking
4 pull-ups
Plank
Walking
3 pull-ups
Plank
Walking
2 pull-ups

I ended up walking over an hour, which was great. When I was dealing with nagging health / body issues back in June, I used long walks around Greenlake to keep up my conditioning and help me get things back together, and those walks were really tremendous. I continued to use them in July and August with nice weather, but in September and October I didn't get much walking in at all due to working, start of school for the kids, coaching soccer, and poor weather. I was thinking about it and realized that simply adding in more walking is the best thing I can probably do right now. So this was perfect. The first set of 5 pull-ups definitely reminded me that I had just snatched 24 hrs earlier, but I banged those out ok, and things got progressively easier from there. Came home, did some foam roll and a few mobility exercises on the shoulders, things are feeling good.
