Got there today.

Biceps, Face Pull, Bench, Dips, Pull Ups, all good.

Flys, pain starts, Incline? Nope. Lat Raise? Absolutely not.

Pinch in the tendon on lateral, I think I slept on it the last few nights.

Very annoyed., will do legs tomorrow, and rest up.

Oof. Hate that. Sometimes lifting through it is the trick, sometimes it makes it worse.

Yeah I pushed through on the Fly's, I was able to focus/isolate enough that the chest did its thing, but the Incline was not happening and when I tried the Lateral Raise with the cable it was an immediate nope.

So, cut my losses, I'll eat a bunch tonight and just focus on not sleeping on that side and hopefully come Monday I'm good to go again.

Pushed weight and reps up this week and feeling good. I decided to go from 10-12 on the bench to 6-8 reps, given that my shoulder has been feeling better. I stayed pretty tentative on the first set, and the second felt pretty easy. I think I’ll keep it at this weight next week and see how both sets go.

Legs Saturday.

I missed Legs on Tue/Thur, so did some of that today. Decent all around, I wanted to run after but realized I left my shoes at home.

GG.

So, I'll do that later if the weather holds.

At the buhurt gym today. Bit of running with helmets on then rounds of burpees, pushups, jump squats, planks, and something else I'm not remembering.

Then we got in armor and we skirmished with rattan weapons. It was awesome. That armor is heavy.

This would kill me. I envy your conditioning.

Sunday was a 24km run before a half-marathon race this weekend. Usually I'd be tapering before an event, but this weekend's race is just another training run before a marathon in August.

This weekend is a chance to try out some fueling and hydration strategies in a live setting before the real race in August, I'm looking forward to seeing how it affects my time. At the half marathon in May I didn't have a hydration strategy and my fuel strategy wasn't great so the race was particularly painful in the last few kilometers, last weekend I exceeded that distance without the same issues.

Knot in my upper/mid back still hurting. :/ I was planning to lift tonight.

Oh well. I'm still keeping up the morning PT/core/lower body exercises, even if I'm slower and stiffer and groaning more.

My back knot/pain relaxed enough that I was able to lift Thursday night, though I shifted my exercises a little to reduce the chance of aggravating it. Machine pec flies for four sets plus a couple of drop sets, machine biceps curl three sets plus a couple of drop sets, and three sets of dumbbell skull crushers, which I was also able to push the reps and weight on, and was happy about.

I also had the energy to go both Saturday and Sunday, which felt even better. Saturday dumbbell bench, dumbbell inclined curls, seated dumbbell lateral raises, and three sets of face pulls, which I hadn't done in a while. I was happy that those didn't hurt, since my back injury last week was upper/mid (probably trap or rhomboid). Sunday I was confident enough in my back to do lat pulldowns (which felt fine), then got three sets and a drop set of leg press, three sets and three drops of seated dumbbell lateral raises, and three more of face pulls.

I think I'll go back tonight.
