Interesting last couple of days. Upper back and shoulders are coming along well. Not 100% but getting there. We bought a 4 month old kelpie x border collie puppy on Sat night. Got him home. He was super shy but was gentle and let everyone pat him. He slept in the laundry no problems all night and I get up to let him out at 6 to go to the toilet. Doesn't want to come back in and tries to evade me in the backyard. That's fine. I'm new so I'm cautious. End up getting him and I'm going slow, patting him and letting him get used to me again. Pick him up and put him under my left arm. He repeatedly clamps down on my right hand and I half double over due to the shock and pain and he spins around and bites me twice in the mouth/chin. Fuck!!! Next two hours are spend in emergency with an ice pack on my face. Actual damage turns out to be minor, no through punctures and no sutures required (apparently they don't do much for dog bites due to the risk of infection). I get home and he's still on the loose in the backyard. Would not come close and my wife and I copped a few more bites on the hands trying. End up calling the ranger who takes one look at me and when told the age of the dog (4 fucking months) says he will have to be surrendered. We obviously don't want to keep him and I'm super pissed at the breeder. Ranger says there are obvious fear aggression issues that have been learned through his treatment since his birth. She says the guy will be investigated and I hope they follow it through. Feel so sorry for the little guy. It's not his fault at all. Stupid fucking humans. Feel absolutely hollow about it. Anyway, I'm healing up ok. In the grand scheme of things the damage is so minor and should be largely reduced by the weekend. Just glad it happened to me and not my wife or either of the kids. Would have been far more damaging for them.
What makes it worse is that during the night when he was sleeping in the laundry I woke and had this incredibly strong feeling/thought that he would attack me when I opened the door to the laundry in the morning. Told myself he's a puppy and not to worry about it and went back to sleep.
Trained today.
Full warm up
Hang PC- bar x 10, 40 x 5
PC- 60 x 5, 70 x 3, 80 x F
(grip was the issue here. Was pulling all these sets with a hook grip and it just fatigued at 80. Tried again with a double overhand but the moment was lost)
Squats- bar x 10, 60 x 5, 80 x 3, 100 x 1, 115 x 5
Squats felt good. Resisted using the belt but did use knee sleeves. May throw the belt on next week or the week after when I get closer to that magical 125-130 (magical for me as that's where I usually stop)
Went to the track when my kids were doing aths about 45 mins after squatting. Warmed up and was going to do some med intensity sprints. Warm up went fine. First push off the right hammie was having none of it. I tried a few more times without luck and called it.
