Tom,
It is great to read about the progress you are making. All your lifts have increased drastically, but your deads are most impressive. Keep up the hard work! Britton

Thanks Bill! It felt good at the time, but I am still sore.
I got my shoulder put back in at the chiropractor today. It's in worse shape than I thought, but still not too bad. There is some tearing going on the tendons, and I have been ordered to kinesio-tape it for four weeks and to watch the inflammation. Just need to monitor how much and in what ways I abuse it.. Tom |

Stop bench pressing and see how your shoulder feels. My shoulders got so bad I went 10 years without benching. Then after running a Marathon they were giving free massages. The instructor came over and did NMT on my shoulders and freed up all that scar tissue from years of heavy benching! Stopped running and got right back into powerlifting. Enrolled in massage class and learned NMT. Added a shoulder horn to my workout and band pull a parts. Shoulders don't throb anymore! When you do bench do inclines and use dumbbell s held like / \ rather than - -.

All that sounds sane. My weightlifting coach is due to provide me input on the same later today, and we'll see what the corroboration is. He is really sensitive to exacerbating injuries, so I'm betting it will all line up.
Bottom line though is that it's more of a nuisance injury than a debilitation. The trick is to keep if from crossing that threshold. My chiropractor actually suggested I get some NMT in two weeks, so I probably will. We can rebuild it. We have tape. What caused it has nothing to do with lifting or throwing. I was helping Duncan into his seat in the car, got him a little too far away from my body, and dislocated my shoulder. He's not as little as he used to be, and that's a good thing. Tom |

No pressing at all for the next two weeks while my shoulder heals, so I will have to get creative with my workouts. "What a damn nuisance!" -- Prince Vultan
I made lunches for the week tonight like normal, but decided to go cheap and make "Pipe Bombs": Enchiladas containing organic chicken, Spanish rice and peppers, vegetarian refried black beans, cheese, and habanero sauce. It takes all of twenty minutes to make a dozen of them, which I freeze in pairs to take to work. The habanero sauce is in there just in case they go missing. That way I know who did it. Dead lifts tomorrow. Tom |

Thanks Bill. At this rate, I'm slowly approaching respectability. Now to translate some of that oomph into a sheaf...

On another side note, the shoulder horn is underrated for its usefulness in solidifying the rotators.

In general my rotator cuffs are degraded, so I should probably get one. And start working on my sweet mustache, of course.

^^^ this.
Any recommendations for what kind/strength/type/whatevah of band to use for pullaparts? It is another form of shoulder stabilizer thing that Bill has recommended more than once, and I trust him on this. Tom |

Dear Private Eyes,
Iron Woody (hehehehehe...Beavis you said 'Iron'"...hehehehehe) makes good bands. Start with the reds; they're cheap and easy. Build up if you feel like you want moar.
Love these as part of my pre-game.

Also between sets of pressing. You can never do enough upper back work.

Push Press on hold for the next two weeks Trap, bicep, and tricep accessories instead, a.k.a gunshow. PM Throws -- the field had dried out a little, so I set up a halogen flood on the roof of the garage and it worked like a charm. Dark is no longer an excuse. 20# stone -- focusing on keeping my chest up
28# LWFD
PM Rehab I was all set to buy a red band, but it turns out that Amanda had one! So I started the Band Pull-Apart Super Series that I posted the link to. It's good... seriously good. I finished up and had an immediate improvement in medial rotation and a lessening of pain. I don't want to hype it too much after a single go at it, but it looks very promising. Squats tomorrow so I can regain my dignity from taking an 'arm day'. Tom |
