my workout is looking outta the window longing to go outside and play.
I'm sickly *sniffles*
I did go for a slow paced exploratory walk yesterday though. Probably not the greatest of ideas but it's not easy to slow down anymore.

1x5 deadlift @ 250 (still binary searching my way to 1RM)
3x5 standing overhead press @ 140
3x5 squats @ 140
I'm sure I could do more weight on squats, but I'm not going from a rack, I'm "cleaning" the bar up on my shoulders from the ground, and that's the limiting factor for now.
I used to get a sharp, short pain in my shoulder when throwing things (baseball, skipping stones, whatever). Always assumed it was a left over injury that hadn't gotten taken care of. But with all the exercising, I noticed this morning the pain during throwing motions is gone! So perhaps it was just an "evenness" in my pathetic state of weakness. Will continue to monitor...

On Level 1, Day 7 of the Gorilla Workout (iphone app, but think SimpleFit). Did not register until after I finished that I was at 90 squats and 30 supermans, with some wall push ups thrown in for good measure.
Feels like I just got off a horse, ffs!!
Loving this workout as an alternative to cardio and weights. Cannot recommend enough.
