I have taken four rest days. Actually I planned on taking Friday as an extra rest day, because my husband and I took a short trip out of town. Saturday and Sunday are my usual rest days. But today, I was still not at the point of being able to extend my arms fully, nor am I able to bring them completely over my head without considerable pain.
This is all thanks to my being too ambitious on Thursday and doing "Angie" as prescribed. I had some serious inflammation and incredible soreness. I mean to the point of agony. You wouldn't believe - it was an effort to lift a beer!
The interesting thing is, I have done this workout many times, as prescribed with zero problems the next day. It's just that it has been a good long while since I have done that volume of pull-ups in one workout. I do recall the very first time I ever did 100 pull ups (with a band!) back in 2008, and the very same thing happened - swelling and excruciating pain for about 6 days.
Anyway, hopefully by tomorrow I'll be able to have decent range of motion and do whatever WOD is posted. I'm ready to get back to the gym!
