Training is going good, Im not yet lifting the weights I was able to lift a few years ago, but Im getting there. Im now trying hard to gain as much size and strength between now and next january and know my bodyfat is going to inscrease again, but hopefully when I cut up for next summer I will actually have a bit of muscle to show for the hard work

There goes another week! Training hasnt been too bad this week considering I have managed to bugger my shoulder. Im not sure if it will effect my bench work this comming week as thats what I was doing when I hurt it, but it didnt effect the rest of my week so hopefully it will be ok. I was benching when I felt a little twinge in my right shoulder, next day and every day since it has felt like I have been hit hard on the very top of my shoulder.

Anyways, all in all I still feel as if Ive had an ok'ish week!

And then forgot to do my abs.

 

Well it look like I wont be Benching any time soon.

My shoulder was still a little sore this morning, but still I didnt think it was all that bad.
I racked up 55kg as a light warm up.. Did my first rep and Holy Crap! PAIN!!!

I will try hard to stick to the rest of my routine (missing out chest work) in the hope that it will heal up soon.

 

Trained my back today and all was well!

There was hardly any shoulder pain when doing deadlift
I was still able to do chins
Bent over rows where not a problem
I even managed shrugs with no shoulder pain

The only exercise that I gave up after 1 set was single arm dumbel rows as this was too painful on the shoulder, so I just did another couple os sets of bent over rows

Im just glad that my training isnt totaly out the window.

Next session is meant to be Shoulder and Triceps

 

Was'nt able to train my chest with any intensity last week, but still managed most exercises.

Last week went like this.
