Notes:

  1. Press continues to struggle, and right shoulder pain was again limiting factor. Was worse than last week–both pain and strength–and more residual pain post-workout. Play it by ear. I always think this is going to be an easier/quicker workout because no squat or dl, but it never seems to work that way.
  2. RDL is tough to gauge RPE as I’ve never done these anything close to max effort. Up 5 pounds and felt good.
  3. I’ve never loved my DBs. They are olympic plate-loaded, fat handled DBs with no knurling and they take forever to change weights. Because of the size, they get really unwieldy, as they did today. As much effort getting in position than doing the exercise, and tough with myoreps because hard to keep on knees.

DL fine. With added work set, I didn’t try to increase weight. RPE felt dialed in pretty well. Didn’t purposefully change ramp up sets but was fine. Incline was better judging weights. Not so much w SSB which was messy and I forgot to pause. Arm work was touch and go bc biceps really aching but this felt okay. Push downs hurt shoulder so did LTE which were fine. Tug - lazy dog today. Nap w Otis.

Ugh. Not sure what’s going on but squat is way off. Shoulder hurt to get under but weight also just felt lousy and strangely heavy for a warm up weight. Write it off as a bad day I guess.

Arm work (superset)
BB curl: 85x12 x 2, 95x12
Pushdown: Orange band x15x3

Shoulder pain continues to limit press, mainly because (1) it prevents lockout/shrug at top and (2) very difficult/painful to get under bar, so bar path is forward. RDL good. Switched from DB Bench to TnG barbell bench for myoreps - fine. Arms fine - a little conservative due to ongoing bicep pain.

Tug - Play with Otis inside and enjoy the AC.
