Was busy yesterday evening and didn't have time to post yesterdays workout. Before the workout I did some internal and external band rotations and dumbbell shoulder horn work to warmup. My shoulder has been feeling good the past few weeks and I've gotten really slack with doing physical therapy work for it this past week.

Didn't workout last Monday because it was my wife's birthday. We ate cake instead. I did however do my shoulder rehab exercises before cooking her a nice dinner for her birthday. On Tuesday she said she wanted to go walking because it was so nice out so once again no weight training. We did walk a little over 5 miles though.

Short workout this evening. Got to get up early tomorrow morning and drive 2 hours to go scout for turkey. I'll spend most of tomorrow putting boot on ground hiking many miles looking for sign so that'll be a leg workout in itself. Overall, it felt really good to feel a bar on my back again. Was planning on going up to 315lbs, but my shoulder took a beating on that last 275lb set. I have to keep reminding myself to take it slow and easy and not rush things.

Still alive and kicking. Turkey season opened a couple of weeks ago and I've been busy chasing Thunder Chickens. From March 23-29 I was on a WMA quota hunt and spent the entire week camped out in a tent on the WMA. This week I worked out Monday and Tuesday but didn't log the workouts. Yesterday (Wednesday) I hunted a WMA closer to home. Hiked about 3 miles with over 2000 feet of elevation change which had my calves burning. While working down a ridge I located a group of Toms and managed to put the Mohican sneak'n on them to harvest my first bird this season. My wife and I are headed up to some NF land tomorrow to camp out and hunt for the weekend. Hopefully I can put her on her first bird and also get my 2nd bird of the season while we're up there.

Well my turkey hunting season ended last week so I'm back focusing on training 100%. For the last couple of weeks I've been pretty consistent with training on a M-W-F split hitting upper body one day then alternating legs the next training day. I'm going to keep following this M-W-F split for a few more weeks and see how my shoulder holds up.

Got 3hrs of sleep Sunday night before getting up at 3:30am and driving over 60 miles to spend the day kayaking down a river with a friend. Had a great time but I felt very tired and drained by the time I got back home. Didn't have much in the tank for an extended leg workout so I did this short workout instead.

I had to rush thru this workout so I could go test run a boat I'm thinking about buying. The faster pace of this workout kicked my ass. I think I might need to consider doing some gpp work to improve my overall conditioning.

Hey Beast, good luck on this! I fear this is in my future. I've just recently been diagnosed with a small tear in my supraspinatus (same one as you). I've just had a PRP injection and will be doing therapy to aid the muscles surrounding. I'm hoping to avoid surgery this year if I can. I'm still doing my research on this I also do massage therapy and see a chiro once a week.
When I talked to my massage therapist, she said she has seen tears heal. But according to my sports med doc, he says that they do not heal on their own. I just don't want to make mine worse. All I know is that I got my PRP injection last Thursday, and this past Mon night got massage therapy and my shoulder felt tons better after. She really manipulated it. Hurt while she was doing it, but when all was done, I was so much better.
This is my first foray into shoulder issues (i'm 47yo, until Tues LOL). Have a knee issue i'm nursing, but thats just age and lack of cartilage.
Sounds like you have a very good work ethic and desire to take care of yourself. Just don't over do it.
Much luck to you, i'm sure you will recover 100% from this.

did your ins. pay for the prp inj. or did you have to pay out of pocket?
