Tom's Training Log

ammonia caps are fun :slight_smile:

Saw the chiro today for my shoulder… managed to keep it in the correct position for 5 days, then I slept on it for an hour one morning and BAM, fucked up shoulder again.

then I did three circuits, all 3x12

db bench
db row

my db bench is pathetic, but i have to stay light enough that i can keep the bum shoulder back and down… it really likes to slip out of place

scap retraction
pushups

face pull
hammer curls
reverse crunch

chiro, warmup, and training took an hour

did a lactic acid workout today, ssb box squat for 20 doubles, then pushups, pullups and abs

OK so I have the flu, and I lifted yesterday anyway… mistake.

now my legs are regular sore plus flu sore. sucks
