Now a bum knee

My shoulder finally healed well enough to start doing Crossfit again, but it had been almost two months of little to no exercise, so we decided to do a week of the official Crossfit warm-up, which is a pretty good workout in its own right.

3 rounds of 10-15 reps of:
• Samson Stretch (do the Samson Stretch once each round for 15-30 seconds)
• Overhead Squat with broomstick
• Sit-up
• Back-extension
• Pull-up
• Dip

That went well and I was looking forward to starting the crazy workouts again. Last week I played in a golf charity event and found that my knee stiffened, swelled and began to hurt. I’m sure this is just a rest of my youth catching up to me, but it’s clicking and locking and I can’t ignore it, so it’s a visit to the doctor tomorrow. I’m looking to get a go no-go call on knee involved exercise.

In the meantime, I’ve continued doing the official warm up, but avoiding or reducing the number of squat reps depending on how my knee feels.

We’ll see what the doctor says tomorrow.
