There is much work remaining to be done. There will always be work to do.

It’s essential not to become arrogant or complacent in the face of success. It’s crucial not to become discouraged in the face of setbacks.

When you’re getting good results, keep going. When you’ve suffered a string of negative outcomes, keep going.

Do today’s work today, and be eager to do tomorrow’s work as tomorrow unfolds. Appreciate that by making a difference you earn the opportunity to continue making a difference.

Through the ups and downs, through excitement and boredom, continue to put one foot in front of the other. In frustration, in celebration, whether you’ve made quick progress or fallen behind, continue putting forth good effort.

That effort has power to change every situation for the better. Keep it coming.

Be back later to fill in today and yesterdays session

Overtraining is possible , we all need to find our recovery curve and ride it like a wave.

When you have a choice between talking about what you’re going to do and doing it, the best option is clear. Just go ahead and do it.

Everyone knows talk is not action. That’s why no one pays much attention to what you say, no matter how loudly or colorfully you say it.

Lots of people pay attention to what you do. That’s especially true when what you do makes a difference in their lives.

Some folks might believe what you say, but many will not. Yet what you do is impossible to ignore or deny.

If your words are not having sufficient impact, put some positive action behind them. Better yet, skip the words and go straight to the action.

Don’t let yourself be impressed by your own empty words, because no one else will be. Do what you’ve been talking about instead of continuing to talk about what you’re planning to do.

Disappointment can be a gift that tells you much about yourself. Choose to benefit from it.

Disappointment is definitely painful, and yet that pain is there to get your attention and to make you aware of certain truths. Take the opportunity to understand those truths.

Disappointment stirs up feelings deep within you. You can use the energy of those feelings to push you forward, to motivate you, to recharge your spirit.

Disappointment is able to occur only because there are positive possibilities in your life. Use the occasion to explore, connect to and express the best of those possibilities.

There is a reason why certain events and certain outcomes cause you to be disappointed. Seek to understand that reason, and you will discover a valuable and abiding truth about yourself.

For every disappointment, there is a positive energy within you that makes the disappointment meaningful. Connect with that positive energy and you will move successfully beyond any temporary setback.

Keep an eye on the pec. Does it swell, discolor, etc.. Hopefully it's just a slight pull and you'll be back in no time.

I have lived my life by this motto so far. I've done a lot of stupid shit BUT I regret none of it.

GL on the Pec. Hopefully its minor. That can be a painful muscle to tear. Did you feel a pop?

This morning I have no bruising thank the Lord. But when I press around I feel a knot . Hoping it’s a legitimate strain at worse. I also iced last night on and off. Won’t be able to ice during work hours but will use that as my protocol at home.

Following this with icing

Days 1-3 shoulders circles and pendulum swings to keep loose and push blood flow no deep stretches
Day 3-5
Continue with added Scapular retractions
Also wall walks
Day 5-7 continue with adding assessment of injury by doing above adding wall isometric chest pressing
Then beginning week two start actual push ups and slight chest presses
Several days later if all is well start light dumbbell chest presses maximum of 50% of maximum effort then gradually working back into normal

think this pretty comprehensive recovery and will allow a full recovery and stay away from any possible reinjury of area .. fingers crossed
