Notes
Shoulder feels like crap again 2 weeks after thinking it was a good idea to do overhead press. Not holding me back from training how i want but soreness is there. Thinking it may be time to deploy the BPC/TB stack for a month or so.
Weight way up after a refeed weekend!!!:slight_smile:

Arms felt great today, unfortunately back and shoulder do not. Shoulder is better than yesterday but it appears i may have a pinched nerve in the back. Gonna get on some heat/ice and see where iā€™m at tomorrow.

The only thing thatā€™s helped my shoulders not feel like ass is to stop overhead pressing.
Viking Press was okay for a while, but even that gave me issues eventually.
Now I just do a lot of lateral raises and my shoulders are happy.

This is exactly what Iā€™m doing. OHP is out. I donā€™t need it. Rear pec deck, three way raises, shrugs and upright rows are what Iā€™ll be sticking with. My shoulders never liked overhead work. No idea what I was thinking trying them again.

Notes
Just noodled through WO today. Dealing with the back issue(which is 75% better today) and didnā€™t want to aggravate anything. Just kept it pretty light with very slow reps a very little rst in between sets.
Shoulder actually feels much better today as well.

This is it. I knew when I was doing too much OHP that I was doing too much OHP. And yet I persisted. I donā€™t think Iā€™d do that with an ā€œangryā€ knee or an elbow, but for some reason when it came to shoulders, I always found a reason to ignore the signals and kept digging the hole deeper ā€¦

The funny thing(or maybe not funny) is that of course you canā€™t throw anything less than a plate on so thatā€™s what I did. Could have put the quarter on but in my mind I couldnā€™t go under a plate. Ego took over!!!
Even still I donā€™t think I need it. My shoulders have good development. I just may raise up my incline bench angle a bit. I tend to stay at a pretty low angle.

It is as much of an art as it is a science, right?

I always wanted to ask. Why do you not count your intra carb calories?

1 Like

I donā€™t really count supps in cals unless Iā€™m prepping for a show.
They are consistent and rarley change. Same with fish oil. Fat/cals are not in my macros.
Itā€™s just how I roll.
