Recovery Day 5 - Light upper-body workout... my training diary entry from June 11 2026

_{(Since we didn't hike all the way to the summit of the Wendelstein this time, I unfortunately don't have a close-up photo of the scientific observatory located there. Better photos will be added after the next Wendelstein hike.)}

Hi Actifitters,

actually, yesterday I was on the verge of putting off my first attempts at training again. But then I plucked up the courage and just started slowly. I began with stretching and waited for my muscle strain to flare up with every movement, but it’s going surprisingly well.

After warming up as best I could, I started with close-grip push-ups. I had no issues with those, either. I just had to be careful when lowering myself into position and when getting back up.

Since I’ll be restricted in my training for quite some time, I’m going to start a little push-up challenge and document my progress here. I’ll be following the same training plan I used before my osteoarthritis diagnosis. According to the plan, my next goal looks like this:

I’ll probably need a few more attempts to reach this goal. Here is what my performance looked like yesterday:

After the push-ups, I also did dumbbell curls, lateral and front raises, and assisted pull-ups. Unfortunately, I currently can't manage a single clean pull-up without assistance using an overhand grip.

Today I’m going to take a rest day and see how my body reacts to yesterday’s workout. Besides, the body needs a day to get stronger after yesterday's training.
