anotheranonDid the upper body workout (scroll down) with some modifications:
Rows: ended up doing the Yates row (scroll down) as I have no bench. Results: deceptively easy, but produced enough strain that pushups were hell 15 minutes later! I could feel more pinching around my shoulders than with pushups though, and as I need back strength this is a good thing.
Standing shoulder press: another pinch between shoulders and I could really feel the unevenness I've developed from fencing. Will keep this up.
Dumbell bench presses - my elbows jut out painfully when I lower my arms, possibly because I'm lying on the ground and not a bench. Not sure I will continue these as I don't want to tear my joints up.
Other: my legs still have not recovered - ow ow ow! In particular my calves are burning. However, I'll enjoy it as it means I did something yesterday :)
