I had the ultimate test of my shin splints last night - hours of dancing in heels. That has always been the easiest way for me to completely screw up my shins for days afterwards. However, I went out dancing last night and my shins didn't bother me at all today. I went to PT earlier and my therapist said that my shins felt great. It seems like I'm all better. Now it's time to carefully step up my workout routine.
Today's workout was this:
Front squats: 1 heavy, 10 light, 1 heavy, 20 light, 1 heavy, 30 light. I did 85 pounds for the heavy and 45 for the light. The last 30 were pretty difficult. I'm not sure what my PR is on front squats but I don't think that I have ever front squatted 85 pounds before. Maybe next week I'll be able to work up to my heaviest weight. I'm guessing I can do at least 100 pounds.
After the WOD, I did deadlifts up to about 90% of max. I did 5 reps each of 115-125-135-145-155-155-160. 160 was my PR just a few weeks ago so it's pretty amazing that I did all those 155s and then 5 160s. I'm getting strong! Yay!
