Modified events day due to the little injuries that reared their heads last week and the fact that I have sparring the next day. Bicep was able to handle the amount of cleans this workout had. I felt an instance of pain on the third and final set of cleaning the dumbbell up, but it was gone by the end of it and I was able to get the keg up fine.
The first set of keg pressing was done right after the last dumbbell set.
I didn't feel good about my back or my bicep doing heavy farmers' walks. If I didn't have sparring, I would probably have taken the chance. Instead I grabbed my heaviest dumbbells and did cleans followed by a walk around my yard with them before setting them down. Doing some extra trap work since I'm doing less clean reps in general.
Felt a light twinge in my lower back on the last round of dumbbell walks. Dropped the bells and felt fine. Can bend and twist my back with no issue. I'm navigating these shark-infested waters with a steady hand.
Ready for sparring today, light or hard. I no longer feel anxious in the lead-up.
Also, have to note a crazy dream I had that made no sense. I was in a Terminator movie sequel, and I could also morph like in Animorphs, and I could change into a hawk except it stopped working later when we were being chased, so the group I was teamed up with had to climb up ladders on the side of a house, and at the top there were people making breakfast biscuits for us, and the final boss spanned the entire level with a red body made of meat with an eyeless head and horrifying gaping mouth that looked like a boss from Contra.
