I wanted to go do some pull-ups before I went home last night. It was pretty depressing, managing to do only 5. Maybe it has something to do with me injuring my lats the last time.
Or maybe it's this nagging problem on my right palm. Whenever something causes my thumb to stretch away from the palm there's this dull pain that feels like a cross between a muscle and bone thing. Can't figure it out.
Maybe the pain is affecting my grip. I don't know.
While I was standing around and readying myself to go a 2nd round, I saw this dude walking around. Initially fearful that he may help himself to my valuables when I went for the 2nd round, I kept an eye on him. He was trying get a glance above the covered walkway and had this stupid, embarrassed smile on his face. So I asked him what he was up to.
Turns out, this guy got his ball stuck in the tree and tried to throw his shoe at it to get it down. His less than impeccable aim got his shoe onto the covered walkway beside the tree instead. He was looking for a ladder to get on top of it.
Surveying the grounds, I found a shelter which was connected to the covered walkway, which has pillars extending beyond the height of the covered walkway itself. I hypothesised that it's possible to get to the top of the walkway by scaling that pillar, but that guy was not willing.
Playing the hero, I climbed up the pillar and arched myself onto the top of the walkway, where I found his shoes. It took a lot more effort than I imagined and my arms were beginning to hurt. The old shoulder problem on my right and my lats were began to protest. Coming down was a lot quicker, but also way more daunting. Squatting down, I took a good grip of the pillar and swung my legs out onto it. The rest was easy.
Yeah, who would have guessed that I got more than what I was looking for. It was good training and a bit of madness which I haven't done in recent times.
