Plan on just doing Squats, Lunges and machine (and grippers) work for now. Once the inflammation chills out I plan on working on making things right with my shoulders

Just dropping by to tell you that just because something hurts doesn’t mean it’s broken. The other week my left delt felt like it was about to rip off, just randomly, but I still kept benching and doing my stuff as usual and it was gone the very next day.
Besides, being stronger is the best way to avoid injuries, so don’t waste your time on stretches and shit
Still hurts pretty bad. I was thinking about doing PNF streches with chest flyes followed immediately by some kind of back work or rear delt work instead of just stretching it out.

Mindset Challenge: The Beast Mile
Walking Lunges for a mile
I devised this several months ago, figured this was my best opportunity to attempt it. At about a quarter in I thought It would be impossible. Just told myself take 4 strides at a time. At about half mile mark I realized it was possible. The main thing stopping me was boredom. and tedium. I didn’t have earbuds and this took me 2.5 hours.
I did it though, I did the whole mile. The path I did this on was around a lake, the path was 1.2 miles long circle, and I live across the street from the lake fortunately. I did leave the house again to get food. By the time I got back the cramps had taken over and I couldn’t walk. My roommate had to give me a piggy back ride into our apartment.

Wanted to challenge my mindset. Feels great knowing I did it. My quads are cramping something fierce though.

Dude I don’t think I’ve done 1600m walking lunges in my life time. As funny as it is to me…
Well done man. Hell of a mind set challenge and you did it.

So is it better or worse if I’m a manlet?
Probably worse since your gait would most likely be shorter causing you to need to do more reps to cover the same distance

Interestingly enough I felt way more back musculature active during this set.
Building the BEAst
Deciding to make a shift in mentality, doesn’t really change much, but instead working towards a better outcome than just training to stave off boredom while my shoulder gets better. Going to focus on building muscle, getting strong at Squats and Bench variations.

Prone Press: 3 x 20 @ 5/hand
Band Pullaparts: 3 x 20
Making noticable improvements on my ability to keep the dumbbells further off the ground during prone presses
