What did you do to slip it back into place?
Glad you’re feeling better.

Well - I don’t really know that I have, but a video I saw of an adjustment had the practitioner waggling the elbow back and forth while the patient was supine and the arm was bent. When the elbow was in the right place he forced the top of the inner bicep toward the back of the shoulder and that seemed to do it.
I tried to replicate the arm angle which keeps the bicipital groove in line with the biceps tendon attachment on the shoulder the most and thumb that bad boy to the back. Hurts a bit to do it.
Sounds tricky and unpleasant. Sure hope that did it for you.

You should see when I do my own dental work…
Good lifts man, very strong. Your log inspired me to create one.

Just spent some time catching up with your Charmingness. Looks like your still doing well, getting into your 5/3/1 plan, and still finding time for bench shopping (looks good and sturdy BTW). Keep pushing it-ERIC D.
I keep thinking of a charming albino with contrasting skidmarks …
Seriously though … Keep up the 5/3/1 plan and keep reporting.[/quote]
The mind shrinks at such an image…
I most certainly will keep at it. Got all my ducks in a row on training, just need to get the calorie count up to match.

Inclined Chest Supported DB cleans
25’s x 12,15,15
Was going to do seated DB presses, but felt the weakness in the upper back on MP’s. Nothin’ whacks on that like supra-maximal partials just above the sticking point. I did them standing because the tummy needed some work too, since I bailed on doing abs on squat day.
Chin-ups really hit my weak teres on the right side so I should see some general shoulder stability improvement by next session. The stronger that teres gets, the stronger I can make the right triceps long head and so the better all my presses will be.
Down 5-7 lbs. Down 9 lbs from where I want to be in bodyweight, so this is an excellent session.

I’d say it was a nice session! MP 160x4 with a body weight of 181 and 30 pullups with BW+55 - way nice!
DCA- I noticed that you pointed out your hand placement on the 150# set. Where is it normally?
I won’t even mention the chins (d@mmit). If I can do 2 with my bw I am thrilled. Nice work!
Shoulder/bicep tendon feeling okay?

I usually take about a thumb’s length from the smooth part of the bar on overhead press - which is just outside my narrow shoulders. Makes it pop off the shoulders but makes lockout harder than going wider.
Shoulder feels good. Soreness sets in after I cool down if it’s going to happen and it feels pretty good. Got some sharpies in the back of the shoulder, but I think that’s some adhesions breaking loose as the muscles re-engage. Long history of frozen shoulder and things are coming back.

Thanks for dropping in. I hope you found this log helpful and I’m glad you’ve started your own.

A strong teres is a happy teres.

Are we talking teres of joy?
So it’s the day after and the front of the right shoulder has no pain at all. I’m declaring self-treatment a success. Bench day will really tell, but movement is smooth with no hitches or that stretchy tearing-type pain so far.
Did some overhead lockouts last night too and the upper middle back is nice and tight betwixt the shoulder blades from them. Worked up to 245 for a few inches range of motion and it really pointed up the strength deficit on the right side and general weakness of the right triceps.
Tried some lying DB internal rotations with 25 lbs (elbow level with shoulder) and it hurt like blazes. Lots of adhesions in the there. Dropped to 15 lbs and did a bunch of reps. Every rep hurt, but I need to do them to force a rebalance of the muscle firing patterns in the joint.
160 on repped milies is strong, keep it up.
Now I have to quail before your miltary pressing manliness! Glad the shoulder is getting better.
