James' 12 Minute Tricep Routine 
 
Just a quick arm session today... 40 minutes job done!
 
Shoulder improving slowly but the real test will be tomorrow when I train them directly, the Osteopath said he is happy if I train light and around the injury, I am able to press if I get help lifting the first rep and lat raises I can work to parallel with the elbows bent and forward... fingers crossed all should be ok .

Hey up mate... the old shoulder's giving me some jip, there's an impingement in there but it's starting to feel a little better, that said the tendon still feels swollen but progress is being made, i've just got to be careful.. this next 2 to 3 weeks i'll be going very steady and hopefully with the treatment i'm getting i'll soon be back to normal.

Curls for the girls..... nice and easy one. Good luck with the delt work tomorrow, just do what you can, they get worked plenty on other stuff so don't fear under doing it

No for sure i'll go steady, the Osteopath has advised go light and train around the 'pinch'...

Weigh in day:
 
Weight: 89.6kg (+1.8kg)
Waist: 34.0inch (+0.2in)    
 
Big weight increase this week, surprised to be honest as I didn't think i'd gain much more especially as there hasn't been any change to the diet... it's probably a bit of water from somewhere and if anything it'll drop back off by next week.
 
Shoulder is feeling a tad better this morning... so much so I was able to grab something from the top shelf of the fridge without it pinching, 3 days ago that wouldn't of been possible.... the swelling in the tendon must be reducing... this all said there's still a way to go. Fingers crossed I can get a half decent session in this morning.

Impressed with the weight gaining for minimal waist growth too

Very light high reps today... i'm extremely happy with today's Shoulder session, all exercises felt ok other than the Hammer Strength pinching a little... but reassuringly they don't feel sore or aggravated from working them, i'm feeling positive that recovery with them is progressing.

Good move today mate, nice little session. Suprising how hard you can make a light session

Sensible approach for sure as I really don't want to put myself out and end up on a waiting list for a decompression (again)... but the job was done nicely, it was no different to what I would do in Y3T week 3.

Good session mate, a wise move too!
Hope it improves soon bud.
 
So then...prep..when does it kick off?
 
Have a good weekend and cheat mate!

Noice! Dominoes for me tonight but have a dilemma! Cheesecake or Ice-Cream for pudding... It's a tough one

Update on the Shoulder, movement this morning has slightly improved, an indication to me that there's nothing more than some swelling in there that is settling down... I worry that the tendon may be torn or even an issue with the pins. Feeling positive!!
