On the Rehab Road to Recovery

I'm still doing rehab/prehab work before my workouts, I'm just not logging it in. I have started focusing on doing more shoulder stretches in my rehab and it's definitely helping my shoulder improve. I have also backed off on how much weight I use when doing rehab work with dumbbells, focusing more on doing the movements slow with a longer pause at the peak of the movements. Doing so isolates the stabilizer muscles and puts the work on them instead of the deltoids.

Got too much sun yesterday and then again today so I’m now a little sunburned. Also got dehydrated working outside in the heat and got a headache and became a little light headed today.

Good workout, felt strong and the weights moved well tonight. Could have done more, but I hit the numbers I was looking for and I’m happy with that. After the workout, my wife and I went to a local park and watched a fireworks show.

Hope everyone had a good and safe 4th of July. My neighbor invited me and my wife over for ribs and beer for the fourth. The ribs were awesome and I ate and drank too much. Afterwards we watched fireworks.

Another good training session this evening. Felt strong on all movements, probably from all the food I ate yesterday. Shoulder is also feeling good, but I still feel it on some exercises like pressing movements. I have to focus on staying tight and controlling the weights throughout the movement.

Injury Update: My quad is not torn, but I did suffer a severe pulled muscle in my left leg. Yesterday I was walking with a limp and had a hard time going up or down stairs. Today it’s not so bad, but it did hinder this evenings workout. Especially when doing the rack pulls.

Good workout considering I only ate 2 meals and no protein shakes today going into the workout. Just didn’t have an appetite today. Also took no supplements and no nsaid’s pre-workout. Got to go eat and get some protein in me now.
