Infraspinatus? Is That Anything Like A Empanada?
Friday, February 25, 2011
Last night while lying in bed I started to get twitches or muscle spasms. I was just lying trying to get some shut eye when it started. I streched whie sitting up in bed and rolled my shoulders. Finally it stopped and I went to bed. This morning when I was at the pool warming up I could feel the area that was twitching starting to feel a bit tight. After swimming it felt okay but I didn't want to push it. So I swam the basic 1 hour workout and got out. No need to kill myself, at least not today. When I got home I had to look it up to see which muscle it was and I'm guessing it was the Infraspinatus. Yeah, I never heard of it either. According to wikipedia the Infrasinatus is -
In human anatomy, the infraspinatus muscle is a thick triangular muscle, which occupies the chief part of the infraspinatous fossa.[1] As one of the four muscles of the rotator cuff, the main function of the infraspinatus is to laterally rotate the arm, and stabilise the shoulder joint.
I don't know if I'm guessing correct but at least I learned something new today. As for empanada, well I'm just hungry!
Warm Up
300 Swim / 100 Pull / 50 Catch Up Drill / 50 Swim (500)
5x100's on 2:20 3 Kick / 2 Kick/Swim (500/1000)
10x100's on 2 Minutes. 1-5 IM Descending / rest 30 seconds / 6-10 Back Descending BUT starting at the pace of the third one previously. So I did a 1:20 for my third IM so I had to start my backstroke descend from 1:20. The other two swimmers did this freestyle in my group while the two other swimmers did set sof 4x100's at an easier interval. I finished my IM descend on a 1:13 and my back on a 1:12. I'm okay with that. Not earth shattering fast but okay. (1000/2000)
I warmed down a 100. I actually was going to swim a bit more but I had to pee. And since I have to walk all the way to the restroom I can't be bothered coming back. So I got out. Let my infraspinatus rest. Since today is my 4th day in a row swimming I plan to take tomorrow as a recovery day. Wahoo, sleep in!
