    That sounds like you may be healing then, Cape. Good stuff. Hope chest session goes well but like you said, I would defo make it a light feeler/higher volume set, until everything is G2G.
    My ROM w/o pain comes and goes, but it slowly getting better, I think. One day it will mainly be anterior, the next day might be very little pain, and the next it is posterior. It's random as fvck.
    Still going to stick to b'bell work in the Smythe for chest and shoulder presses for a while and maybe wrap up chest w/ some moderate weight incline flyes or moderate weight weight d'bell presses w/ the palms parallel or light-ish d'bell shoulder presses on shoulder days just to get a good rush of blood into the area at the end of the lift.

Bf is extremely healthy and clean eater. Barely drinks at all. Maybe 1 drink a month. Just crazy!!! So ready to just rest.

    How do you like the seated weighted dips?? Is your grip palms facing or palms toward you? We have a plate loaded machine at my gym and used it but like using the dip belt more?!

    Yeah I like it, feels good because I can adjust my body so more tension goes on the triceps instead of the chest. Palms facing each other

    That's what I thought - thx Marcus I'll try it out for sure! I can imagine it isolating the tris more

    Ok. So I went in for chest. Only did machine work.
    Medium weight. Medium reps.

    Machine bench 3 working

    Seated cable flies. 3 working

    Incline. On the first rep I got what Clarky would call a wee niggle in the shoulder Stopped. Moved on.

    Different machine bench 3 working

    Back to seated cables. 2 working. Nice pump at this point.

    Not bad for an old man with a bad shoulder. Lol

    Nice! Stomach issues kept me from lifting yesterday but I believe the issue has been resolved, so back should be in the works tonight.
    8 oz of bone in ribeye and 4 egg whites then it's my bedtime.

    Quick check in. Hi all! 9 hrs of sleep last night. This weekend really set me off course, sick man, sick kiddo. Missed my lift this morning. I am thinking about lifting after work today, but may have to just wait till tomorrow morning. First Sunday in years I didn't meal prep either. Was just too out of it.

    I will be back ready to rage.........

    Definitely agree w/Cape - it's not worth it you'll just be more tired and have less energy tomorrow - instead get the mind ready for tomorrow! your doing great things... how's your strength increasing?

    Fella's and ladies I hope all is well! I've been working 70hr weeks and haven't trained in 2 weeks. It's been years and years since I've been out this long but I'm starting to feel good, the first week or so my body tightened up and hurt. Working 13fr days didn't help plus the prop I'm using gives me a good stinger every other shot Hopefully jump in the gym today to try to lightly stretch things out but I went for a massage and the girl kicked my ass, she actually sprained my rib! So we will see. Keep grinding!

    Fella's and ladies I hope all is well! I've been working 70hr weeks and haven't trained in 2 weeks. It's been years and years since I've been out this long but I'm starting to feel good, the first week or so my body tightened up and hurt. Working 13fr days didn't help plus the prop I'm using gives me a good stinger every other shot Hopefully jump in the gym today to try to lightly stretch things out but I went for a massage and the girl kicked my ass, she actually sprained my rib! So we will see. Keep grinding!
    Good to hear from you BG... I figured you've been working crazy hrs having a house due men day right? I'm gonna send you a PM brother

    I think you are right Cape! I will take another rest day, ensure I do better tomorrow morning.

    I totally agree!!! I haven't lifted since Saturday.....I did chest and felt great on the lifts I did. I got my high of 37.5 each arm DB's for chest press.....it was more easy then I thought once I had a little help up . I was able to do 5 reps after working my way up. Last Saturday I started with 27.5lbs and this week I was up to 30 dbs start. FOR SURE increasing.

    Got my high on leg press last week of 470......

    I can tell just from switching to your all style of lifting I am getting stronger!!!!

    I can tell my chest is getting stronger, cause my t*ts are shrinking a little.....
