Rest day, Massage, Sauna, Whirlpool....

Rest day today. I got a massage at noon, so I am going to try and continue my rebuild today and drink lots of water, hit the sauna and whirlpool. Maybe some stretching and yoga moves.

Back to full on workout tomorrow. Probably legs or back.

Shoulder workout didn't hurt?

Well, I know this may sounds dumb. But, I hit shoulders today. 

Yes, even though my shoulders have been giving me problems as of late, I walked in the gym and thought, well I will try my Physical Therapy routine (the exercises the Therapist told me to do). Then after doing those, I was like, well that was a good warm up, how about hitting shoulders, really.

After doing my PT routine. I hit a superset of DB Shoulder Press, Bent Over Lateral Raises, and Seated Lateral Raises....shoulders felt FINE, not a single ounce of pain. Then I hit Rear Delt Machine (the opposite of the Chest Fly Machine). Then series of 4 sets of Upright Rows. Amongst a few other workouts to hit my shoulders a little more gently, I felt great afterwards.

I tried to stay away from doing something that would target my Anterior Fibers of my Delts, along with my Clavicular fibers in my Chest, which is where I think the problem is. I also never went below 6 reps/set.

Sholder Update, Thanksgiving

After going to the Doc for the shoulder, we concluded another look at an MRI Arthrogram would be something we'd need to get a better look at any changes that have been made. Only problem is the MRI itself is on Dec 9th, and the follow up is on Dec 16th (day after my bday). So I guess its just back to icing it ALL the time.


On Wednesday I ripped abs and core at the gym, too many workouts and sets to explain, just I was really sore yesterday and pretty sore today when I woke up to go to the BFriday deals in my area.

I took the day off the gym on Thanksgiving to just enjoy things and heal up everything including my shoulders. I might take the day off today also, or go in and kill legs. All up in the air with the shoulder thing. Its a day to day, feel it out deal.

Today and Shoulder

If my shoulder feels up to it I might hit the gym but not sure yet.  I got my orthopedic surgeon appointment today to start the process of figuring out what the next step is.  He will probably order MRIs.  :thumb:

Hurt shoulder, Bench day video

Shoulder is feeling better today, I have an appointment to go to the Orthopedic Surgeon tomorrow, but I will still workout.  Lots of Ice is helping the healing I think.  I'll just shy away from shoulders and high back workouts this week until I get a MRI and maybe some PT.

Going to hit Bi's and Forearms today.

Video from Sunday (bench day)

(FROM MY YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION)

This is a form check video, I will add annotations regarding my thoughts and details on all the weights.

*Notes*

Songs - Ajapai - Brain & I Need A Doctor - (asian trash boy remix)

I usually will only drop the weight to 1"-2" from my chest due to Shoulder Problems unless it is lighter weight.

In the future I plan on allowing more time between sets, I noticed by watching this video (before I edited it), that I only give myself about 45-90 seconds, I hope to increase that to 3 minutes because I feel I am getting really worn out after only one series of an exercises.

Also in terms of form, I feel that my Bench form wasn't bad, but I need to quit moving my feet and move them closer to the bench and closer to my upper body. On Decline, I feel that I did a pretty good job but I will probably try and bring my hands in a little more.

Please feel free give your serious thoughts and constructive criticism.

Blown shoulder

I blew out my should pretty bad yesterday. Dumb move on my part really. I went for Bench at 215x1 and got it pretty much, my spotter used 2 fingers and basically stabilized the weight. Went for 9 more sets of bench, I will post a video later tonight or tomorrow if I am feeling up to it. But after all this, I suppersetted Cable Flys and Dips. Was on my last set of dips and my should gave out, THEN like and idiot I tried to finish my workout (triceps). It didn't feel (THAT) horrible, but I got into the showers afterwards and couldn't lift my arm.  It felt bad for a hour afterwards, I've had ice on it for about an hour and half since, and it is feeling better, but I hope I don't have it bad. I was PUMPED to start my bulking again after my deload. 


I might take the day off today, or I might go in and just TEAR my abs up. Hope it gets better overnight!  I'm going in to see the Orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday.
