For the past 3 weeks my left shoulder has been on fire. I am not sure what is wrong with it, but I have been trying to reduce the amount of heavier free weight pushing I’m doing on it.

5/3/1 dead lift

shoulder stability stuff with light med ball

I just moved into my new place, thus the absence. The db rows really really hurt my left shoulder. I will try bb rows instead to see if they work better.

5/3/1 squats
105x5, 130x5, 155x3, 170x5, 195x5, 220x8 (very disappointed with this), 195x5, 170x5

6 to 10, 2 sets

ez curls

My left shoulder is still not so good. It is not hurting as much, but is still very stiff and not getting much better. I think eliminating most rowing type motions for a while may be the best way to get it feeling better.

dead lift

box squat as explosively as possible
135x5, 155x5, 175x6x3
